Port Sunlight: 507010 leaves Port Sunlight heading towards Liverpool on 4th October 2023. The old 507s and 508s seem to be working turn and turn about with the new 777s on the Wirral lines but their numbers will decline as new units are approved for service. I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of dwell time with the 777s in each station as they were constantly ahead of the timetable. I expect there will be some sort of recast when the full fleet is in operation
