New And Revised Pages Launched!

Hi everyone,

This is just a very quick update to announce the launch of my Merseyrail fleet list and the redesigned Class 195/331 and Class 777 fleet survey pages, all of which can be found on the right hand menu. If you spot any mistakes, please let me know on Twitter, as I am no longer using the previous platform I used to share and receive updates.

Take care, and stay safe.

Fleet News Update - Summer Round Up.

Hi everyone,

After a break from the blog to focus on my family and my mental health I have decided to return to updating it, albeit on an as and when basis rather than a specific schedule.

If you have any updates you'd like to send in to me, then please feel free to send them in to me via Twitter (@MerseyPEP507). I will also be announcing future updates there, and I have now also included an email subscription option for those who do not use social media.

Lastly, a fleetlist for Merseyrail will be added very soon.

Fleet News Update - February 2020.

It has been brought to my attention that, earlier in the year, the main fleet list was copied and redistributed by someone who claimed it was theirs.

Whilst I have made it clear that I am happy for the fleet lists to be re-used elsewhere, I don't feel that it is a big ask to acknowledge them as mine. Keeping the blog up to date takes up time which, these days, I don't really have, and it's disheartening when people take credit for my work.

I did intend to close the blog after hearing the above, but after reading the kind comments from a number of people, I have decided to continue updating the blog. However, if the above happens again then, unfortunately, I will be closing it permanently.
