Martin Lewis asked what the best purchase for £1 was. I'm sure you can all guess our answer! Segment starts at 33mins, with the "best" bit from 37mins. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
We're dealing with summer heat now, but Autumn will soon be here. With it arrives the nemesis of train drivers everywhere - poor rail adhesion. Simon demonstrates how 507s were prepared for leaf-fall season by testing the Wheel Slip Protection (WSP) system. Commentary by Tom.
One year ago today saw the last diagrammed 507 services on Merseyrail. From 25th August 2024, the few remaining 507s only appeared on an “ad hoc” basis.
507001 is seen at Aigburth on 23rd August, the penultimate day of booked 507s on the Hunts Cross line.
We love seeing videos of 507001 at #TheGreatestGathering! The latest comes from Denzel's World on YouTube. Our bit starts at 7:40, but the whole video is worth a watch.

We are putting the finishing touches on our next newsletter which has all the behind-the-scenes info on The Greatest Gathering. Will be emailed out exclusively to society members tomorrow evening.
It was fantastic to have a pit tour underneath @class_507 001 which was sat inside the Alstom sheds during The Greatest Gathering last week. @greatestgather
The Movements team at Litchurch Lane were the true beating heart of the @greatestgather! ❤️ This small team managed around 800 arrivals/departures of rolling stock and ensured all steam traction was cared for. A big round of applause for their hard work & dedication! 👏
