Some say when he drove a 507, he somehow put it into notch 5 🤔

If you’re in the Derby are today, come and see our simulator at Great Northern Classics. https://t.co/Gdt0HISU4t

[Class 507 Preservation @class_507]

We were pleased to welcome students from @ReptonSchool recently as part of a visit to @AlstomUK's Litchurch Lane works in Derby. They had a tour of 507001, allowing them to compare its historic engineering approach with the modern trains elsewhere on site. Hope you enjoyed it!

On 3rd May 1903 the Mersey Railway became one of the first in Britain to be electrically operated

🚨 Latest Video 🚨 I talk to the @class_507 Society about the future of 507 001, which could include converting it to battery power. Oh, and I also get to drive the unit!

#OnThisDay 123 years ago electric services commenced on the Mersey Railway with these very American-looking units. The railway environment had been unpleasant being steam hauled and underground so the company was struggling, electrification was its saviour https://t.co/mYj9NSDVtt

Railway YouTuber @NickBadley came to see us recently as we took 507001 for a spin along @AlstomUK’s test track. Watch him drive the train and talk to us about our plans for the future. https://t.co/XmEoXqUwmP
