RE: Mersey Ferries
The losses reported this week DON'T include capital costs so if they are added in, say £300,000 per year, the subsidy per commuter journey wikll not be good VFM.

Take away the tourist/off-peak usage and I wonder what is the actual contribution of the ferries to the city region's travel to work network. I suspect it is very little, very expensive, and shrinking.

Therefore, consider franchise option as a tourist attraction for weekends and summer season with the profits from the tunnels used to improve road and rail services and infrastructure
