Lxxx Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I thought it was replacing the Mannanan? Clearly with the cabins it is replacing the Ben. Or is it going to do both Heysham and Liverpool sailings? Anyone....?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this years timetable showed it sailing to Liverpool Saturday and Sunday morning and back at 2pm (so no daytrips still!). Obviously that will be changed now the new terminals won't be ready.

They aren't doing any berthing tests in Liverpool until 2024. Only then will we discover that it isn't capable of sailing to Liverpool. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
