8 carts is unusual
Sometimes the 4 car units can double up to 8 cars
Exellent
Nice capture
Goodbye 👋 to the 3 car class 508s that were previously with ME - Merseyrail because they are aging their age and are being replaced by brand new 🆕 4 car class 777s are delivered to ME - Merseyrail. Good 👍 luck 🍀 to the class 777s are delivered to ME - Merseyrail. Rest in peace 🪦 class 508s that are scrapped at the scrapyard and more to come for the 3 car class 507s. 👍
They're not being delivered to you
least obvious bot
@Elldo. ME is the operator code for Merseyrail, a bit like how GC is code for Grand Central or SR is for ScotRail
@@Danse_Macabre_125 oh
😢
nice video sir, although not nice for the 507/8's I'm more or less the same age and I feel like I'm ready for the scrap heap too!!
Great video Chris! sad to see them go. :(
odd choice for a new station when other parts of Liverpool have never had stations
Wow Looks amazing
Looks good
Is good to see Merseyrail services expanded beyond Kirkby but it would've been better if they kept it as a through station as then Merseyrail services could've continued onwards to Wigan. Reason for this is because whenever Northern plus everyone else is striking it means that the people in Wigan can't travel by rail towards Liverpool if they needed to get there, it would've offered a 3rd direct route to Liverpool instead of needing to go via St Helens Central OR Newton le Willows. Hopefully now that they've finished off Headbolt Lane they should focus on relaying the Burscough Curves and dealing with Ormskirk so that Merseyrail services can expand onwards to Preston. Southport would benefit from a direct service to Preston instead of having to change in Wigan or needing to walk from Burscough Bridge to Burscough Junction.
Sad sight😢
Officially the first train to go beyond Kirkby in decades
will headbolt lane not be electrified? they currently only have 1 battery train so how will they run the new trains there
There are currently 4 battery trains in the UK and another 3 at stadlers factory
@@cadewilliamson1849 only 1 has received a unit number
The track is set up to line and level before any third rail is fixed in place, so it may yet be electrified.
@Jean Pierre the track isn't being electrified to headbolt line, network rail will not allow any 3rd rail extensions. Hence the need for battery trains
They'll run battery trains for a few months, realised its an awful idea, close the line for another few months and electricity it
merseyrail is national rail, no?
No - it is separated and is a franchise of its own. The legal position is complicated. It owns, not leases, its rolling stock and it currently has a track maintenance agreement with NetWork Rail but wants to terminate that arrangement to create more flexibility and control through vertical integration. There are other franchises eg Northern Rail and Transport for Wales that also run into the region which are standard franchises, leasors and NetWork Rail customers..
@@uingaeoc3905 every national rail has a franchise
@@MelSabharwalFanTightPuthay When you ask a question and are given a full answer you don't respond with the same ignorant twaddle.
@@uingaeoc3905 that wasnt a good answer
Great video. ☺️
when are they coming on the Ormskirk line
Nice capture
These are nice 👌 trains 🚆 used to be used for London Underground 🚊 🚃 in London. 😀
They do look lot nicer and fresh.
Nice 😊
At least you are happy to ride on it. 😊
do they have guards on them?
Will have a Train Manager onboard but they will not be doing any doors
I like these
No announcements??
i think its because it never stopped it was just going to Kirkby and back to Central
This was filmed a few weeks back
brand new trains 777049
Are the train announcements the same?
Yes Julie Berry still doing the Announcements
Yes!
777049 was the unit that was used bud, not 003
This is the most passive aggressive comment I’ve seen In a while
@@spottymaxy1628 Nah, we're colleagues mate, was just letting him know which unit was used as he'd put the wrong one in the description
Hahah I know that Wez had to flim this ahead of times for the future 😂
@@ChrisBillows96 I mean, this is you we're talking about... You're not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed 😉
yo that class 777 look so beautiful look like it will be more coming my guess
yes
How many out today?
Just 1
so, they must be happy with their feeble horns, huh?
coming to service on the Kirby line on the 23/1/23
How do you know
@@samthegloucesterbusspotter5907 BBC

Excellent video😃⤴️⤴️Fantastic train and beautiful twilight view😉👍️✨Thank you for sharing :)
Bless you and family happy December ❤
Amazing wonderful 🚂 ❤❤❤like 👍👍👍👍
Great video Chris! well caught :)
Whats the stage of testing?
What does WTT mean? Why do you talk about services stopping at a platform for longer when the video ends before the train leaves?
Should be proud in how long they have last.
This video is 2 years old today! 🥳
Great video. ☺️
the red noses are just wrong
Yep i agree

@@OffTheRailsUK Sure hun ;)
@@OffTheRailsUK Viruses like these are common among animals, and they get into human circulation because we rode their forests and take away their living grounds, and we eat bats.
@@NationalistsRuinAmerica And so where's your proof that the governments of the world are *actually* telling the truth? Because based on all their past actions, I really doubt what they said.
They will be over 3 years old before they enter service ??
When will they enter service?
Early 2022 apparently
From what i was told, April 2022
Wish these kind of trains run in my country
