Just a bit of info on this train, 508201 was originally a 3 car unit, originally used by Merseyrail until the mid 90's, on where it was transferred to the Connex franchise down in London, the unit had door controls added, as they don't use them on Merseyrail and spent the last 20 or so years down in London. It was then decommissioned, the centre car was removed and sent back up north for fire training. As you will notice, it looks nothing like the current Merseyrail fleet from the front, as in the mid 2000's they had a face lift, the interior of the refurb units was replaced, so this unit is (sort of) merseyrail as was. I think those posters (like no smoking and feet of the seats etc) have all been added for the purposes of making it look like a Merseyrail unit interior once again. Hope that sheds some light on the inconstancy

Thank you, that’s what I read that it was originally used by Merseyrail, history I read online wasn’t 100% correct though thanks for the info

​@TopAbandonedPlacesURBEX Originally they were four coach units which worked services out of London Waterloo.

@A-Trainspotter-From-Berkshire
@unitedrail-mainchannel8991 The 508s and 455s are compatible since they use the same electrical equipment for traction and stuff which has to be compatible between each other for.

The 508's started life on the Southern Region, not Merseyrail. They transferred to Merseyrail i think from 1984 onwards

When the class 508 EMUs were built back in 1979 they were delivered new as four-car units for the BR Southern Region suburban services out of London Waterloo to places such as Dorking, Hampton Court, Shepperton, Epsom, Chessington South and Guildford before being transferred to Merseyrail (as 3-car units) in 1984 - the spare trailer cars from the former class 508 EMUs still survive today as part of the fleet of 1980s-built class 455/7 EMUs in service with South Western Railway. The class 508s are unique as they are the only former BR electric trains which have served two different Waterloo stations - the one in London (from 1979 to 1984) and the one in Liverpool (from 1984 to present).

Reminds me of the 313's we used to have on Great Northern in North London into Hertfordshire - only difference is that the 313's were dual voltage (third rail, like the 508's, for the stretch between Moorgate and Drayton Park - ex underground line - and overhead wires from Drayton Park Northwards.

I visited the unit as I knew exactly where this was thanks to the video. It was a incredibly bleak area really, and it was pretty dark when I was there too, honestly was kind of eeere if anything! Also, just for some additional context, it’s never been a Merseyrail unit - It actually belonged to defunct operator Connex Southeastern, and was saved from being scrapped by being sent here, although arguably, it’s pretty depressing now. Great video :)

We say farewell to one of our trains. They have served us well providing hours of training time from counterterrorism to mass casualty management. For those people who loved to explore the secrets of the compartments and for those who like to take photographs we hope it has been fun times. But unfortunately we have to say good bye. From theft of equipment to vandalism has left us with no option. One of the carriages is being returned down south for restoration. It’s a sad sign of the times. We actually caught five individuals trying to set fire to one of the carriages. As the CEO of the Emergency Services Training Centre, I have placed the other inside to prevent further damage and vandalism. The centre prides it self on training Fire, Police and Ambulance Services across the country and will continue to provide that level of training. We will be happy to allow our friends of the train community to come to site and photograph one of the carriages. Appointment only. 😊 If any of you wish to be part of the restoration team please let us know.

It spent 20 years in London after it was sent down by Merseyrail as being surplus to requirements. The posters have been added since the unit moved back up for fire training and were never part of the original makeup of that unit.
