Not too sure yet but did look at flying but i have found that a bit too much to be honest lowest fares i have found at the moment is over £100,each from Brimingham,so i am looking at staying in Liverpool in say a cheap b&b over night and then catching the ferry first thing in the morning.
Getting there as early as possable so i can dump my overnight bags in my hotel and then get out and take some photos

Oh also forgot to ask in my first post where is the depot and can you get to view it from anywere or can you if you ask can you get round to have a look.
All the best,Ian
