    How do freight shifts work? Does the company plan for you to return to a depot near your home with freight, or do you drive back without pulling anything, or do they ever expect you to stay in a hotel overnight and return the next morning?

    A nice video. The weather was perfect: no rain, slightly overcast, not too much sun. A very pleasant route and engine sound. Unfortunately, for me, it was spoiled by the continuous high frequency ringing noise that sounded like a car or house alarm. I tried hard to screen it out without success. At least I can appreciate that I don't have tinnitus.

    Aside from the foot passenger only ferries from Liverpool or even from Salford Quays on the Manchester Ship Canal, it really bugs me that there is no direct train services from Manchester Victoria (coming from Hull via Leeds) to Holyhead on SailRail for the ferries to Dublin - changing trains from Manchester Piccadilly (platform 14) at either Chester, Crewe or Lladnuo is a real pain, often with very little time to change trains - on the other side of the Irish Sea, they don’t even have LUAS trams from the Irish Ferries and Stena Terminals via Dublin Docklands Rail Station, let alone the constant talk of a high speed rail tunnel under the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin - with the Irish governments plans to invest in Irish railways, it will be interesting to see if they will extend the M3 Parkway line to Navan, where there are also many freight-only lines around Dublin Port - and if the Irish government will implement an EU climate change directive to ban all short haul flights between Ireland and the U.K. post Brexit and post Covid - the River Liffey is a very narrow channel and many of Dublin’s bridges are very poorly designed, which do not allow vessels to pass, which despite Dublin Port’s expansion to take cruise ships, many vessels cannot travel up the Liffey at high tide to the Custom House or even Capel St Bridge - there is the Port Tunnel linking Dublin Port to the M50 motorway but it has been very badly thought out and designed
