From an industry specialist today , he suspects the new Manxman will never be able to utilise the facility because its one of the worst places on the mersey for mud and silt deposits to build up, Government seem to be carrying on regardless of the cost implications of the scheme , unless there can be another use found for the passenger waiting area and the other facilities from October until April it will become a huge white elephant , bearing in mind it can't take freight ,or operate at night ,, Someone in Government better put a thinking cap on , because up until now little or no thought has been given to this project , 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowing fast craft to provide a weekend summer service at decent hours at weekends to Ireland/Scotland. 2. freight only on Ben to Heysham at weekends There are all sorts of permutations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
