00:01Mersey Ferries have been out of service for nearly three weeks and Liverpool City Region's
00:05Deputy Mayor wants answers. Graham Morgan says Mersey Travel should have explained the disruption
00:10much earlier and he'll press for firm dates on when passenger services can resume.
00:15The last service ran on the 10th of October. The Snowdrop is expected to remain out of action for
00:21several more weeks because of an engine problem. Meanwhile, the new £26 million Royal Daffodil
00:28has yet to carry passengers while essential work continues.
00:32Replacement buses are running during peak hours.
00:35Morgan says the situation needs resolving very quickly with clear updates for ferry passengers.
