My own personal Metrorail!!

Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related in U.K. & Ireland! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

My own personal Metrorail!!

Post by Jez Smith »

As a few of you may already know (Hi Stefan!!) I am a driver for Merseyrail in the UK. Merseyrail is an intesnively worked commuter railway energised at 750v dc third rail. The units (Class 507 & 508) date from 1978/1979 and are derived from a 1972 design. They were refurbished 5-6 years ago, and are a joy to drive, and they sound just like a 5M2A!! Their livery is a fetching Yellow and Silver-Grey....
All photos were taken before dawn. Enjoy.
