We are the Class 507 Preservation Society; we are preserving 507001 for future generations of Merseysiders.class507.org.uk LiverpoolJoined October 2023
It's a year since @greatestgather! From 1-3 August 2025 we welcomed thousands of visitors to 507001 at @AlstomUK in Derby, as part of this once in a generation railway event. The pit tours and simulator were big hits!
Thanks to Team 507 for all their hard work at the show.
What’s the one thing you’ve always wanted to know about 507001? Now’s your chance to ask!
Reply with a question and our PEPxperts will answer as many as we can through videos on our social media channels.
No question is too big, too small, or too technical. Fire away!
Do you have a nice photo of a 507 or 508 you want to share with the world? We are opening up our 2027 calendar to the public, so your picture could be hanging on hundreds of people's walls next year! Details on our website. class507.org.uk/2026/07/calend…
All good things must come to an end.
Now Inspiration has made its final stop we have to say goodbye.
This means from the 01 August our social channels won’t be monitored. We began with less than 100 followers and now we have more than 30,000 and we’re hugely grateful for
Before the 507, there was the 502.
This Sunday, the Class 502 Preservation Trust will be opening their doors to the public at @TheMTTrust Burscough base. It’s a chance to see the amazing progress they have made on restoring this classic LMS train.
