cheesypeas Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 P&O look to have lost the bid to use their current berth in Liverpool. If only we could have waited ! Rumours are that Sea Truck have put a better offer in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been running into there for quite some time. Bit of a hike with several Primark bags granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman2000 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 The old P&O terminal is only just beyond the new football stadium, but yes it did require the use of dock gates. If you know the dock road it is before the casement bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on a longer crossing faffing around with dock gates doesn’t add proportionately as much journey time as it would on the IoM run. It’s roughly 8 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringy Rose Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Could be worse. Orkney Council spent £1.5m on a new boat, it doesn’t fit on the pier, so they’re going to spend £25m building a new pier. https://news.stv.tv/highlands-islands/orkney-papa-westray-pier-set-to-be-dismantled-and-rebuilt-to-fit-ferry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxanne Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Names will be named… ‘And people will be held accountable’ So says treasury minister Alex Allinson. It must be someone they want to get rid of. No one else is ever held accountable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t happen, and if by some small miracle it does, you can be sure that IOMG will make a complete mess of things, resulting in another date at the tribunal ………. and we know IOMGs track record of tribunals are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to guess it’ll be Mr NB and Ms AR who will be blamed for everything. You can bet your bottom dollar no politician will ever be named as responsible for anything.

Kopek Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 We would possibly all agree if we all knew who Mr. Nb & Ms. NR actually are? This is just a guess, you don't have to justify it. Plus, this is a small forum, not as though they are likely to read it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
