" It was not finished in autumn, but the in-service date has not changed. [https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/former-infrastructure-minister-confident-liverpool-ferry-terminal-will-be-complete-by-new-years-day/ In the radio interview Thomas said that it is value because although it is £80 million, it is over 236 years. So he believes that the building and the ramp will last 236 years. Another Manx miracle]. Just goes to show how out of touch Chris Thomas actually is sadly like a lot of others currently in Tynwald he is deluded and must be living on another planet , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 I find it amazing that there's still this belief that they think they can convince sheeple that the spend is only @ £70M. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be other operators who would welcome an alternative to their current landing stage. May help with the costs, ensure fuller utilisation and therefore enhance the passenger facilities there.

Other than the Mersey ferries I think all other operators drag mainly freight out of there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
