went on a ferry ride to liverpool with the kids some pixs!

more pix

your photo with the description "next to lairds" looks strange,i have never noticed that area,where abouts is that?...no one please reply with it is next to lairds !!!..how far down?

not far just next to the sheads and the terminal kid!

did'nt you do a U'E on the engine room lol

on the boat yerr!

Ive done my own EU on the engine room of the royal Daffodil!!
I was involved in the engine refit about 5 yrs ago, doing all the pipework. Then one of the engines packed in while in service and i had to board her at woodside with all my tools and spares to do a running repair while on a crossing!!
You wouldnt beleive some of the places i get into!!

How much is the ferry these days?

River cruise is 3.80 one way 6.50 return. Cheaper to get a saveaway think they around 4 quid.

in the next to lairds pic is that the Swinging Arms pub

The Swinging Arm (Royal Hotel) has a window semi circular in fashion for ship owners to see if there vessel has docked (pre mobile phone days).

My Grandfather was in the engine room on the original Royal Daffodil.

Except you can't use Saveaways on River cruises; you also can't use them until after 09:29. Which essentially means, you can only use them on the 09:40 direct departure from Seacombe, and then between the hours of 16:15 and 19:05 on the evening direct commuter services.

A saveaway is great value if you are planning on doing a lot of travelling/if your total ticket cost works out higher, dependent on the times you want to travel, they are £3.30 for a single are and £4.50 for an all-area's pass.

You need an all-area's saveaway if you wish to use it on the ferries.

not been on the ferry for so long, may take a ride on it this weekend

i went on a saturday in june it was well packed. Jumped on a bus from liscard and ferry left just as bus arrived. Had 2 wait for an hour lol
