And no, the 2023/4 winter timetable isn't out. But if they don't schedule Liverpool winter weekend sailings that leaves the new terminal and link span unused for 5 months a year. I'm confident that it will sail to Liverpool on weekends just like it used to sail to Birkenhead. I'm sure I have read that it will but I can't find it.

Not heard anything for months about costings etc. Deliberate or have I missed something. In this case with DOI involved no news is definitely not good news. Think I saw the CM being quoted at the 'One Plan' conference something along the lines of 'the GMP want it & it has to be paid for' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring the fact that no price was quoted when the offer was made and a low price was being quoted of £3 million or whatever for the new facility. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just chose to spend as little as possible on anything other than the institution of Tynwald and the massive edifice of government Doing away with higher education grants in order to preserve grants for farmers was the nadir of that administration 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bserver Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 If Everton turn them down then maybe they'll sponsor the ferry terminal? It would be fitting as the GMP have been well and truly fucked over by the project. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When even the Daily Mail says it's a made up story, you know that most news sites will print any press release they are sent without examination.
