An Apex Event. - a photo on Flickriver

An Apex Event.

            With only a few weeks left of 507 operated services on the Wirral and the projected termination of 507s and 508s on the Merseyrail Network by early 2024 i decided to take a ride from Chester to Southport whilst i was in the area and try to bag a few shots. 
I had never been to Southport before but was aware that it boasted a fine station. I arrived on my 507 (ding ding !) after sunset and into the blue hour. The sky was clear and the lighting was delicious. I took as many shots as i could during my all to brief visit. This was my favorite of the bunch.
507030 has just arrived with the 2S40 1530 from Hunts Cross whilst 150119 waits to depart with the 2O71 1705 to Manchester Oxford Road.
I didnt observe any 508s during my visit but there were plenty of 507s mainly working the Southport Line with a few in the Wirral. 777s are becoming ubiquitous.
When i look at these two multiple units they still seem modern to me, a real testimony to my age. I remember with great fondness the 503s.
