Old versus new at West Kirby station.
As Merseyrail begins to phase out the old trains, they have repainted the first unit delivered back in 1978 in its original livery.
Unit 507 001 was the train Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II rode on to officially unveil the Liverpool loop.
The colour scheme isn’t exactly the same, as the doors have had to be painted a different colour to assist partially sighted customers.
