West Coast Railway Company service departing on 24th March 2019
On the 24th March 2019, the Branch Line Society ran a railtour around the North West of England (and a little bit of Wales too). The tour included traversing the Merseyrail system on the Wirral, including up to West Kirby and Rock Ferry. Hauled by a pair of class 33s top n tailing, this tour was a good excuse to go out and see a rarity to the Wirral, a Loco Hauled Passenger train, with what is believed to be the first Cromptons to ever venture onto the Wirral. The two class 33s used were

Swanage Railway's 33012 (D6515) Lt Jenny Lewis.
Pasing Bamfurlong at 1630 running 3 minuites early

A railtour organised by the Branch Line Society on 24 March 2019 included a journey through parts of the North West of England and Wales, featuring travel on the Merseyrail system. The tour involved a loco-hauled passenger service operated by two Class 33 diesel locomotives, including 33012 and 33029, running from West Kirby to Southport. The event provided an opportunity to observe a rare occurrence on the Wirral, with what is believed to be the first Cromptons electric multiple units operating in the area. The service was part of the West Coast Railway Company's operations.
