Merseyrail at Hall Road March 1994

On very windy day in March 1994 I had a tip off that there were 2 x Merseyrail 73s plus Regional Railways 73002 shunting around in the depot adjacent to Hall Road station. So apologies for the shaky video as the camera was large and the wind was blowing !

Great footage, Mike. Its both historic and precious, given that it shows three of the Merseyrail JA 73/0’s - I have not seen any footage of these working before now, although I remember them well, being a local from Wirral. Superb!

I was a fashion retailer in Liverpool from 1986-1996, I must go through more of my VHS tapes again. I didn't make many notes back then and it takes quite a while to check a 3 hr tape!

Lovely to see the 507's in their original livery and not the hideous merseytravel yellow .

Formby beaches were a means of escape at weekends today it's just another slice of overpriced real estate.
