Q22.03. Mersey Rail Class 777.

When will the new Merseyrail Class 777 units come into service and which routes will receive them first?  (Richard Coulthurst: 12348)

Answer

The earliest that the Class 777 units will enter service is believed to be December 2022, and will take up to 18 months for the whole fleet to be introduced.
Originally the Liverpool Central to Kirkby service was due to receive them first. However, it’s now believed that the New Brighton service will now be the first to receive the units in passenger service.
I trust this information is of interest to you.
