Save Class 507

Mistrust will be donating profits from sales of Yellow and Grey EP to Class 507 Preservation Society

Mistrust helping to save Class 507!

I will be donating money from sales of my latest CD to fund the preservation of Merseyrail Class 507 001 electric train!

On 14th December 2023, my “Yellow and Grey” EP was re-released on a special limited edition Blue and Grey “Heritage” CD to commemorate the Merseyrail Class 507 001 electric train being wrapped in its original livery. The song “Yellow and Grey” was written about and inspired by the Class 507 and 508 trains, which are now being withdrawn after over 40 years of service. It seems only fitting that I should mark both of these events.

From 14th December, 2023, all profits from the sale of the “Yellow and Grey” EP on CD and Bandcamp Digital Download will be donated to the Class 507 Preservation Society to raise funds to preserve Merseyrail number 507 001 Electric Multiple Unit*. I will be releasing a special remix of “Yellow and Grey” on digital download on Monday 18th of December 2023.

About the Class 507 Preservation Society

Class 507 train at Moorfields Station

The society and website has been set up to find people interested in preserving a class 507 train.

Since its introduction in 1978, the Merseyrail class 507 fleet has 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 that the venerable fleet, built by British Rail Engineering Limited at York Works, will soon disappear. Several units have already been scrapped, and the rest will be gone within the next twelve months.

The society proposes to preserve 507001 to ensure that the class’s contribution to the region’s railway history is not forgotten. This website has been set up to gauge interest and get organised.
