Extra Public Transport for the 2nd Test Game

[Sir Percy Ware Armitage]

There will be extra ferry trips laid on for the 2nd test game and if it's popular it could be a regular event. Also more trains and shuttle buses.

Unless we get Big Dan doing shuttle flights in his Spitfire, they can sod off!

Logically it will help.

A problem with a riverside stadium is that a crowd csn only approach it from routes in a 180 degree arc ... half what an inland stadium has.

Make use if the water.

Where are these ferries going to? Surely wherever it'll be there'll be quite a walk up to the ground anyway

The Gerry Marsden ferry terminal, Pier Head.

Fleet of these, BMD pumping out this music as they start landing stadium side...

I don’t see that the ferry makes much difference, if we are looking to get people away from the stadium as quickly as possible, it’s half an hour walk from the ferry terminal at pier head to Bramley Moore Dock, even if you are able to make that walk. Hopefully they will see sense at some point and run ferries direct to and from the stadium.

Pier Head to Seacombe, so as you say still a walk, but it takes some pressure off the trains and reduces the cars coming over trying to find parking spaces.

There's also free parking at the Seacombe ferry terminal.

In some ways I’ll miss Uncle Uzzys involvement, one of them being he can’t tap his mate up for an Ekranoplan / Caspian Sea Monster.

Yep anyone who's ever been to Middlesbrough or Sunderland 's stadium will tell you it's a nightmare trying to get away as there's only one road in and out so the traffic doesn't disperse. If you're able, walking is the best way to approach the ground and leave it. However when the weather's bad it will be slow going.

 

[Connor]

The ferry is a good idea, hopefully it’s taken up so that it becomes a regular thing.

Funny that they’ve said Merseyrail will be running a 15 min schedule on the northern lines instead of a 30 mins. “Extra trains” they’re saying, when it’ll be a normal service for every other day of the week

They really better get their act together

 

[Furey1878]

Surely there will eventually just be a ferry stop at the ground itself?
