    Default Liverpool Landing Stage

    Why has the new term Liverpool Cruise Liner Terminal come into vogue when it's always been the Liverpool Landing Stage?

    Just shows you, good game Joe, you'll have to start a new thread and try some more photos. It does make you wonder if it is really worth buying an expensive camera.

    Default Southampton's got it's knickers in a knot!

    Liverpool's bid to capture Southampton's cruise liner trade is slammed

    By Matt Smith DAILY ECHO

    CIVIC chiefs in Southampton have slammed a bid by Liverpool to seize a chunk of the UK cruise industry as an ?abuse of state aid.?
    They have joined port bosses in objecting to plans to allow luxury liners that currently dock at Southampton to use Liverpool?s Cruise Liner Terminal as a base to start and end voyages.
    A publicly funded ?20m cruise terminal at the city?s historic Pier Head ? once a gateway for millions of transatlantic passengers ? has already given Liverpool a landing stage for calling megaliners.
    Liverpool City Council now wants it to become a full ?turnaround? terminal with baggage handling, customs and immigration although needs Department of Transport (DfT) approval as ?9m of European Union funding was used to build it.
    But there are fears cruise liners could be relocated from Southampton, which has 70 per cent of the UK cruise market.
    Councillor Royston Smith, Tory Cabinet member of economic development, right, said Liverpool?s proposal was tantamount to an ?abuse of state aid.?

    This bunch in Wurzles in Southampton have got a cheek. The cruise liner business is increasing. Liverpool will provide a service for those north of Birmingham. Why should someone from Newcastle go to Southampton to catch a ship. Now we need direct fast rail links to all cities.

    For 40 years the world's two largest liners had Liverpool on their sterns. Not once did the Queen Mary or Elizabeth sail up the Mersey because a government contract said they must use southern ports - Southampton. The Queens were conceived in Liverpool, the head offices were in Liverpool with the ships having Liverpool written on the sterns in large letters.

    Southampton has had lots of government help along the way.

    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?
