[DasLunatic]

Service number?

Rectified.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Seeing how Belfast/Northern Ireland are in the UK, can we go there?

Are you confusing the rules of this quiz (where a dispensation was granted by the forum quizmasters for a ferry crossing to the Isle of Wight ONLY) which requires a fixed link to the UK Mainland.....and the rules that apply to quizzes such as the Station Code quiz?

Post edited accordingly.


We then take the Arriva North West service 413 departing at 1402 and arrive at Birkenhead, Woodside Bus Station at 1439 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Springs Branch]

I've looked forward to the opportunity for a sail between Liverpool & Birkenhead on a Mersey Ferry & here it is. Merseytravel's Journey Planner definitely gives a specific option for a trip across the Mersey by Ferry at this time on a Monday afternoon, so we walk the short distance to Woodside Ferry Terminal, pay our £2.50 commuter fares and enjoy the excellent view of the approaching Liverpool skyline on....

The 1530 Mersey Ferries sailing from Woodside to Liverpool Pier Head, arriving at 1550 Monday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I have always wanted to go on the ferry across the Mersey, as well as just go to Liverpool as a whole!
