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?

Yes I did mean Wallasey Village, Onbus wasn't specific enough in this instance!

Post edited accordingly.

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.

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

Anyway, heading to the bus stop at Mann Island, we then board the 1559 Stagecoach Merseyside service 14 to Croxteth (Petherick Road), arriving there at 1641 on Monday afternoon.
