Custodians of former Merseyrail electric multiple unit 507001, currently at Alstom Litchurch Lane, Derby.
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://www.greatnorthernclassics.co.uk/planes-trains-automobiles/
We were pleased to welcome students from Repton School recently as part of a visit to Alstom'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!
The Class 507 Preservation Society will be at the Great Northern Classics "Planes Trains & Automobiles" event in Derby this Saturday 9th May. Drive our 507 simulator and see the Destination Station and our camshaft demonstrator.

I Drove my Childhood Train!
…but not before we posed two Merseyside transport icons together. 507001 alongside the Merseyside Transport Trust’s preserved Leyland Tiger coach. 😍
It’s back to bed for 507001…
The end of a fantastic day! Thanks to all who came to visit us, and thanks to our amazing Team 507 super-volunteers. And special thanks of course to the testing team at Alstom for facilitating the day.
On board the fastest 3rd rail EMU in preservation!
