Station staff, all views and opinions are my own and do not reflect the views and opinions of my employer.
It was my day off yesterday so I'm a day late, but I wanted to leave a tribute to him with the training ground only being down the road from the station.

Rest in peace Jota, the world will miss you.

Shameless plug of my Merseyrail cab view videos from the Sefton Sparkler railtour that we ran last year to bid farewell to the Class 507's.

Found a little memory from when I worked in The Champions Lounge in the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand at Anfield, that was one hell of a game! I was shaking when we got that 4th goal!

Big thanks to everyone who came to our AGM today. Lots to talk about as we looked back on the year we successfully took 507001 into preservation. We also looked to the future, as we think about ways of allowing the unit to carry passengers in preservation.

My best friend has banned me from getting on any Croatian trains 😩😩

Why are women so mean

Some more love for Northern, their last Blackburn service of the evening waits to depart Headbolt Lane.

Whilst I was waiting for it to go so I could close the platform for the night!

3 much needed days off now, then 5 late shifts and then I'm off to Croatia for a week.

Actually looking forward to Croatia tbh

Watching the usual troublesome youths get thrown from their illegally modified electric bikes by undercover police is the most satisfying thing I've got to witness so far

Anyway, Hello again Bluesky!

Being a Merseyrail worker I don't show Northern a whole lot of love..

So here's a double 150 waiting to form their 14:39 service from Headbolt Lane to Blackburn.

Farewell Class 507's!!

The 507's are still on Birkenhead North depot, there has been no word on when the units will depart.

The 507s are still on Birkenhead North depot, no known issue causing the delay.

It's a foggy one this morning!

If you have a Railcard then you MUST tell staff & show it when buying tickets, we're not mind readers. We don't know you have a Railcard unless you tell us.

One of the most annoying things is someone saying "return" & then complaining that you didn't add their Railcard that you didn't know existed.

Toilet has a sign with "Toilet out of order" in big bold letters and a picture of a toilet with a 🚫 on it on the door.

Passenger: is the toilet open?

Me: What does the sign say..

Passenger: I know but is it open?

Me: 😐

Common sense really isn't common anymore is it
January 13, 2025 at 3:06 PM
Passenger: Why is this train delayed?!

Me: There's a woof woof on the line in the Kirkdale area

Passenger: get it off the track then!

Me: do you know anyone who can run faster than a dog?

Passenger: it's only a dog, run it over

Couldn't say what I wanted to say or I'd lose my job...
