It looks almost computer generated but, how long is that nice white floor going to last as a white floor, it's already got a couple scuffs and it's not even opened yet :lol: ?

Does look proper nice though like
 

Finch Farm is still a very good training facility, however if you compare it with the likes of Leicester's, City's or even (sadly) the RS's, it does need some work.


They're checking at the gates, and importantly the entire plaza is not open even for those attending: they will funnel fans straight to their turnstiles.
The ticket office needs to be accessible

I think that they put more trains on but I could be wrong. Did see in the echo that they are trialling 8 carriage trains on the Liverpool Southport line. It is 4 at the moment. Maybe that is part of the transport plan
The plan was always to go to 8 car trains on the Southport line once testing, bedding in and modification works at some stations was carried out. There were myriad delays due to Covid etc. You'll notice on the new trains that the driving units have only one set of doors, towards the middle - this is so an 8-car 777 can fit on the platforms, with a significant overhang at either end (which really buggers up your signalling at some locations).

The good news is the 777s have around 50% more capacity than the 507/508s they've replaced. I think an 8 car train should comfortably carry around 1,000 pax.
