Every time some Useful Idiot tries to tell you that the NatACTs are better managers of public money, remind them that;

"... in all likelihood, we will be paying nearly as much for lesser ships, which will be in service three years later than the iRex ferries. Have we been given a cost estimate for this avoidable delay? No, we have not."

2030!
Also, no-one in the media has asked if the new ferries will be electric hybrid or capable to be upgraded to electric. Will we be lumped with dirty fossil fuel ferries until 2060? Well after supposed carbon net zero in 2050?

_The Evening Post_, 29 March 1924:
HARBOUR FERRIES
In view of the approach of the winter months the Eastbourne Ferry Board has decided to withdraw the #Muritai from the harbour service next week, and the time-table will be maintained by the #Duchess and #Cobar. The Muritai will resume during the Easter holidays should the weather warrant.
The service to Seatoun and Karaka Bay will be discontinued as from Tuesday next. Negotiations are still in progress between the Ferry Board and the Seatoun and Bays Progressive Association for a resumption of the service in the early spring.

Mayor Steve Rotheram has launched the Care Leavers #MetroCard, offering free travel on #buses, #trains, and #ferries to care leavers aged 18-21 across the #Liverpool City Region. The initiative, benefiting around 1,500 care leavers, removes #transport barriers to education, employment, and social activities, promoting independence and reducing isolation. Mayor Rotheram highlighted its positive impact on young people transitioning to adulthood, giving them the freedom to explore opportunities and connect with their communities. Care leavers Tyler Preistley and Bekie Mariel shared how the pass has improved their lives, providing financial relief and increased mobility. The MetroCard is automatically issued by local authorities when care leavers turn 18.
