Only time will tell if this rush to take back control of buses is a success. I know our Mayor Andy Street is in no rush to take back control. But interesting to see other city regions going in a different direction.

Out of interest Carl, what is the cost of a bus day ticket for the Liverpool city region ?

To be honest I don't know off the top of my head. I know a savaway ticket is good value and ive bought them in the past because you can use them on buses trains and ferries. I think its a good thing for the city to control its transport, for example 2 or more bus companies on the same route, but tickets are not interchangeable, that's just confusing. Transport needs to in integrated in my view.

I presume items must be refrigerated.

I presume items must be refrigerated.

Also, the use of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) can significantly increase the shelf life of food.

Peel Ports invests £2m in the first deep water bulk berth to be opened at the Port of Liverpool in 40 years as it welcomes its first vessel. Tony McDonough reports

Peel Ports opens deep water bulk berth at Alexandra Dock in Liverpool

Peel Ports has opened a new deep water bulk berth at the Port of Liverpool as part of its ongoing development of the Alexandra Complex.
Costing £2m, this facility is the first of its kind to open at the port in 40 years and has already welcomed its first vessel, Andesborg. It will accommodate ships up to handymax sizes (bulk carriers with capacity of up to 50,000 tonnes).
Combined with the existing N3 Alex berth, the new addition will increase the vessel handling capacity of both the Alexandra Complex and the Port of Liverpool as a whole. Peel says warehousing space is currently available at Alexandra Dock.
This 534,000 sq ft complex, where a £28m warehouse was also recently developed, is designed to provide a full service for customers’ bulk storage and handling requirements.
Phill Hall, Mersey port director at Peel Ports Group, said: “This is a significant moment for the Port of Liverpool.
“The addition of the new deep water bulk berth will not only allow us to accommodate larger vessels, it will also improve the port’s overall ability to manage bulk cargo, providing more efficient cargo operations and helping us to keep supply chains moving.
“Not only does this project show our dedication to investing in infrastructure, when combined with our modern storage facilities the new berth ensures we can handle a diverse range of commodities and support customers
