## Description

Due to a capacity issue on the Merseyrail Electric Network there will be a requirement to move a number of the class 777 units to locations outside of the network\. The class 777 units are Electric Multiple units at a length of 65m and consist of 4 cars units operated by means of a 750dc 3rd rail\. The units will have to be hauled over non-3rd rail electrified lines\. The number of moves required is unknown at present but it is expected movement from the network will need to commence during the first week in June\. The regularity of the required moves will depend upon the number of units delivered to the UK and capacity of the Merseyrail network at the time\.
