    Waterways, I am looking at renders of Liverpool waters on another forum (you know which) and there are trams/trains of some description depicted?
    On the LW site they have a picture of a very ugly tram. Yep the multi-nationals will locate from NY in a jiffy looking at that.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    If this is finally built, it will be a massive boost to Liverpool.

    We could be, but with Luddites likes you around we never will be

    We were bigger than Hong Kong at one time handling 40% of the world's trade.

    Peel should look into building an artificial island with a causeway to it just off Liverpool Waters and build their Shanghai Tower.

    If they had any brains they would widen the West Waterloo Dock river locks, and deepen the dock to allow Cruise liners to dock to start and finish cruises. That would be cheaper than building a new floating landing stage.

    Spike it is people like you, and your attitude, that were the decline of Liverpool. People like me had to leave, along with half of the city. Maybe we should all go back and the likes of you leave.

    So you do not like it. Big deal. Stop cluttering the thread and leave it posts that add value.

    You are and and you said it. You said you didn't like it. We got it. You never gave any reasoning why, apart from it being new. I have reservations on two points which I gave: No Merseyrail rapid-transit rail (it will not work without this) and they are filling in water spaces again. I extended on those points as well giving examples of successful similar projects.

    You say you just don't like it. Great you only need to say it once, we got the message. You are adding no value to the thread whatsoever and adding clutter, so but out.
