very late to this, but yes it is ABSOLUTELY Possible to have trash from a 507, or any motor-gear-bogie traction setup, over time the gear that moves the bogie wears away, this causes the gear noise to get louder (769s are a very good example) this is what causes the electric thrash

So sad the end is near

Interesting why northern has started using platform 3 in Southport

Great video

I'm really going to miss these units,Thank you for uploading this video 😊😊

TIMESTAMPS FOR THOSE THAT GOT THIS FAR! 0:00:01 - Train preparations in Southport and a 777 arrives from the sidings. We have a wander up the platform, note 507 003 sitting in the sidings waiting to pounce on a dead newbie and have a quick jump on 001 (at least I can say I stood on it) noting the Stuart Mason nameplate on 507 023 too 0:03:34 -We leave on 777 043 as the 507s load up. Dropping us at hightown we see a couple of departures before a monumentally large flock of geese completely distracts us 0:05:26 - 001and 023 duly appear southbound. Then disaster, the next service train is cancelled so Rice Lane is off the cards. 777 039 eventually arrives after a fretful 30 minute delay. 0:06:30 - Good luck returns at Sandhills as we are just in time to see 023 lead 001 through for Fazakerley. We head up to Town Green and pass the tour just coming back off the Kirkby line at Walton Junction 0:07:33 - 777 002 departs then the tour comes through heading to Ormskirk having made an extra stop at Maghull 0:08:28 - At the next stop off, Aintree, we view the abandoned excursion tracks before 001 stops tantalisingly close by ready to reverse northbound again. We jump on the arriving 777 up to Old Roan and pass the tour waiting for us to clear the junction 0:09:54 - Just have time to cross platforms before our tour appears. Plenty people recording the scene, a feature witnessed across lots of the network today. Not to be outdone it's none other than lesser spotted 777 144 that turns up southbound, depositing us at Kirkdale with a very large complement of stock on the carriage sidings 0:11:19 - 001 and 023 appear on the approach line and slowly make their way to do some track bashing on the depot. We eventually have to leave to make the next connection at Sandhills 0:22:24 - Another brief distraction, it's a plane of course. After arriving at Freshfield, we see the current incarnation of the Formby circular, a much used bus as a child to get nearer to the Squirrel Woods saving my Grandmas feet the walk! (it was something like a 164 then) An unexpected southbound ECS (actually the unit that failed first thing!) then flits through 0:23:04 - The tour blasts through heading for the lunchtime break at Southport as a service train pulls in for Liverpool 0:24:02 - Dinnertime fun at Southport. An MPV turns up and probably feels it's reached celebrity status, such is the volume of people at the platform ends. It poses by the 507s, basking in the reflected glory a true star generates 🙂There are platform seminars, shunting movements, banner reveals, flower boxes, flag waving and more. What a wonderful atmosphere! 0:30:42 - Another photo op at Seaforth goes for a burton as a late running ECS causes the service train to leave before the tour. A shame, but we are compensated with the tour departing then immediately setting back into the wall sidings. Particularly wobbly footage here due to us all waving at people on the train! We fly our flag then watch it leave again. 0:34:57 - The southernmost spot for me today, Moorfields and after our service train leaves the tour calmly floats through heading for South Parkway 0:36:37 - It's nearing the end now 😞 The light has nearly gone as the train arrives at Hall Road and heads into the wall sidings - sited on part of the old Hall Road Depot and the 507s spiritual home. The time is a highly appropriate 5.07pm (no 24 hour clocks on Merseytravel timetables if you remember!) 0:38:18 - Back on the station with the last Ding Ding. My day is about to be transformed. There's definitely someone looking down from above when a very cheeky question to an extremely kind Branch Line official results in me being allowed to join the tour for the last stretch to Southport. Superlatives will never do this moment justice, all I can say is thankyou from the bottom of my heart. 0:40:28 - A cheer greets our arrival into Southport. The station is still a melee of activity, there's banners again, plenty flags and jokes that it was the last 507 ever....until the next day (possibly the greatest cliffhanger since "Who Shot JR?" !) I'm in "record anything" mood now which accounts for jumping on and off carriages, videoing maps, the legendary Merseyrail logo and commemorative slogans on 001 and 023s poignant nameplate again. Still not quite finished I hop on the next southbound for one last shot 0:44:21 - Possibly my last encounter with a 507 moving under its own power? I still can't bring myself to accept it but unless we drop on an ad hoc stand by before the end of December it would seem to be. 001 leads 023 with a sparky run through at Ainsdale heading to Birkenhead North Depot to see what happens next. This day was never going to happen ever. Unfortunately we don't get to decide these things. Farewell my beloved companions and thank you for every single minute of it. And Gran, our trips will still live on when the plaque goes up in 507 001 . Good night and God Bless.

This reminds me of the way Kelvin 1633 sounded

EYMS had a few crazy drivers and this Gardner/ZF combination was perfect for them. Plenty of thrash... the only way you could drive them

This is the version from my childhood

Nice filming Chris

Merseyrail is the best Metro Rail company in UK! Fact! The new 777 class trains are owned by the Metro Region and the whole we be brought back into public ownership ship when the Stadler/Abeilio contract expires. The old 507/508 class are used only in emergency now. The 777d are great for wheelchair users - level ride on and dedicated spaces. Many Merseyrail stations are fully accessible using ramps or lifts. I can even fit in the small platform lift at Liverpool James St! I get on/off at Birkenhead North which has 630 car park spaces and 35 Blue Badge bays! Some of the 777s have battery power and allow them to travel to Headbolt Lane on the unelectrified section. I look forward to further extensions in the future such as Widnes or Helsby or Woodchuch, Wirral. I've been on the Southport and Ormskirk lines in my powered wheelchair! Great! Highly recommended!

Leave it to good ol' Dale to show us "ludicrous" camera angles 😊 Hope all's well with you there, old friend 😊

What was the last time they ran on the metro

507018 always has and always will be my favourite 507

A brilliant video, much enjoyed and much appreciated. 😊😊😊

Sitting In the front left seat on the 400 to the airport or the 184 to Uppermill. Classic.

i saw this on the 590 service a few times Rochdale to Halifax can just image this if still in PSV use been used to Huddersfield on the 184 service

1:42:39 Ignore me awkwardly bimbling past you there! 🤣

I remember these buses and exact livery when I used to catch the 427 into Oldham in the late 90's early 00's 👌🏼Either a Leyland Olympian, Atlantean or an MCW Metrobus 🙂

Great video mate

A great video . I'll miss the 507,608,s.I haven't made my mind up regards the 777,s just yet. But the pep,s had character. 😊😊😊

Brings back memories for me riding on GM Buses in the 90's. That distinctive Metrobus gearbox whining noise as it changes down when coming to a stop 🙂

That sound brings so many memory's loved the sound so much

...and the timestamps are off!!!... 0:00:01 - Inbound to Liverpool the Edge Hill 60 posse are 021 and 087 today 0:00:24 - 507 029 departs for New Brighton then 007 turns up on a West Kirby train! We nip to Central and see some 777 departures, with one terminating at Rock Ferry 0:06:27 - Obeying the sign we first see 507 033/003 leave for Ormskirk then 507 023/021 arrive. A surprise is 777 142 departing for Southport! We join 507 021 up to Kirkdale 0:11:23 - 507 city at Kirkdale. 021/023 depart north and 015/010 arrive south. The last chance to capture scenes like this unfortunately so make the most. Next in northbound is 507 028/017 so join 017 up to Orrell Park 0:17:35 - The next southbound, and 5th set out is "big blue" 507 001 with 014. We pick 014 to journey down to Sandhills. The train reverses here due to running late so I now join the 001 end (check out the full empty coach at this point!) alighting at Old Roan 0:27:04 - 014/001 head to Ormskirk with 017/028 returning to Liverpool. Next southbound is 015/010 with 033/003 crossing us here, again a scene soon to disappear 😞. We elect for 010 and hop to Aintree to see ppl preps well in hand with some groovy Merseyrail ads on show too 0:32:56 - Fittingly its "Red Rum" 021wih 023 in next so head to Maghull at the 023 end before swapping for 033 (trailing 003 - loving all these 6-cars!) back to Kirkdale 0:45:38 - Some Kirkdale happenings now with an 8 car 777 heading out to form an Aintree shuttle whilst 777 002 has a spruce up in the carriage wash. 014/001 head back north, 023/021 south and a Headbolt guest stars too. Another 777 twin takes race goers to Aintree 0:52:31 - 033/003 are Ormskirk bound, we join 017/028 back to Sandhills. 021/023 are seen then it's 777 142 that arrives so take advantage of the rarity and charging facilites onboard! 507 011 looks very forlorn in the carriage sidings (will it carry passengers again?) 0:58:13 - Back underground and after a 6 car vacates Central we cut to Hamilton Square for the dodgy camera angle segment. We then partake in 507 029 to Wallasey Village with 016 just visible in Birkenhead North shed. Some 777 rooftops depart North then 507 007 appears so we head to West Kirby. Don't blink or you'll miss the 230 leaving Bidston on the return 1:15:24 - More departing rooftops then extra dodgy camera angles at Moorfields. We now join 507 028 out to Kirkdale 1:21:34 - A shuttle set heads out from Kirkdale to pick up the crowds at Aintree with a flyby for good measure. Some other general scenes (note some shuttles displaying "Grand National") then onto 015 up to Maghull North complete with irritating passengers. A quick hop back to Maghull with 017 follows 1:31:45 - Onto 014 again to eventually make Ormskirk! Town Green/Aughton Park were being served by alternate trains so we miss one out. We see a Northern 150 connecting for Preston then we're back onto 014 for the next southbound, and what an experience that will be! 1:45:38 - Old Roan looks peaceful enough but then its Aintree. At 6pm. WEDGE EXPRESS! We get them all on then head to the city (including someones head apparently). 1:51:17 - time to join 003 (all 12 out had for haulage now!) to eventually arrive at Kirkdale with some more general views including a circling sightseeing plane 1:59:15 - Red Rum 021, attending it's last National chase with 023 perform a lovely sparky Ormskirk bound departure before 015/010 arrive to end our day (always did get a number 10 home!). A slightly different Edge Hill posse of 66 743 (in Royal Scotsman livery) and 69 002 close the video at dusk!

Great video

My vote is Version 1.

A fantastic video, Thank you 😊😊😊
