No sooner had pioneer 507001 departed from Southport at 14.34 with the delayed 14.27 2U36 Merseyrail working to Hunts Cross (See image 87774) than sister unit 507009 arrived to off-load and load passengers and be ready to form the 14.42 departure back to Hunts Cross on 14 July 2023. The numbers of the York Carriage Works built Class 507 & 508 EMUs in service are declining rapidly, as the new Stadler Class 777 EMU/BEMUs are brought into service. 508125, seen alongside, is one of those since sent for scrapping having reached Sims Metal at Newport on 9 October along with unit 508124.
