Someone asked to hear the bell.

Well, since we’re here it would be rude not to 🛎️

To answer a question we get asked occasionally, no we are not on TikTok. But you can enjoy tick-tick.
We’ve been giving 507001 a bit of a spruce up for a special occasion…
For operational reasons 001 popped outside briefly today. 👋
The tbs.social Mastodon instance will be closing on 16th March. We will be moving to a new instance soon and will keep you all fully updated.

The final instalment in Train Crazy’s class 507/508 trilogy will be released next week. “The End” looks at the last 14 months of operations, up to and including 507001’s arrival in preservation.

£2 from each sale will benefit the C507PS. Pre-order now! https://www.videoscene.co.uk/northern-and-wirral-lines-507s-508s---the-end
