Watch Sadie Gilbert's review of the new Isle of Man Ferry Terminal in Liverpool

Transcript

00:00The terminal that cost millions and has left many questioning whether it is

00:04worth it has finally been unveiled to the public. I went along to Liverpool

00:09last weekend give an inside scoop of what it is really like. The signage

00:14outside of the terminal might be terrible but inside I had no issues

00:18figuring out where to go. Friendly staff at security got us straight through to

00:24the much-anticipated cafe. The building itself was modern spacious and clean

00:31the cafe however had a limited selection of crisps and cold drinks as well as

00:36some cakes. The coffee machine was up and running which is always a good sign. The

00:42seating area in my opinion was large and spaced out however I can see how at busy

00:47times such as TT or Manx Grand Prix it may get a little overcrowded. The

00:54toilets stole the show for me, a major improvement from the last terminal. A

00:59large space with complimentary nappy bags I thought was a lovely touch for

01:04any mums. There was no need to ask for the Wi-Fi or any bus timetables they

01:09were visibly on display in the cafe. My rating of the new terminal would have to

01:14be an 8 out of 10. Maybe some hot food options would boost it further but all

01:18in all I really enjoyed traveling through, seeing it, seeing the new colours

01:23how it was bright, spacious, airy. So yes a solid 8 out of 10 from me.
