Class 507 Preservation Society

From its introduction in 1978, the Merseyrail class 507 fleet conveyed generations of Merseysiders — to work, to school, to days out at the seaside, to nights out on the town.

The introduction of the new class 777 units means the end of the venerable fleet — built by British Rail Engineering Limited at Holgate Road Works, York. The remaining units were withdrawn from service at the end of November 2024.

The Class 507 Preservation Society was founded by a group of railway enthusiasts with the aim of preserving an example of the class, number 507001. We hope to ensure that the class's contribution to the region's railway history is not forgotten.
