What did they “DO” to them?

[@chrissaltmarsh6777]

Here's a similar one we did. After the boring flight to Vancouver, it was a coach which went on the ferry to Vancouver Island, then back on the coach to Victoria BC. The driver actually asked what hotel we were staying at, and took us there. Up in the morning to get the float plane to Seattle for a family reunion. Pretty magic, coach and boats and planes.

[@steve-marsh]

Superb mate, would love to do that!

[@heathertruskinger6214]

Hi Steve...wow....so many " double decker" buses ! Both in Ireland, and Scotland. They are a bit of a rarity in Australia. I tend to see then only on Skybus routes. ( Skybus routes tend to connect larger airports with the closest CBD) Love all the seagulls perched on the bow of the ship . Did I see correctly that the drivers drive those trucks on one end of the ferry...and when they get to their destination, they drive off the other end ? Wow you know roughly how many trucks and buses it can hold ? I presume cars are on another deck.. I makes one realise just how big and tough these ferries really are ! Such lovely weather for you too .

[@steve-marsh]

You make such a great point about the drive on/drive off - you know I didn’t even think about that! Will need to research it a bit more 🤣

hi heather they are called RORO ferries roll on, roll off designed so ships do not have to take ages offloading and reloading faster turn around. hey did you spot the huge great double axel coaches right in distance at coach station, they are called Metroliner style coaches, some have toilets, some have sleeping pods and a bar even. great for a band tour couch when you hit the big time.

Brilliant service. Never knew it existed!

[@derekbryce2632]

Another great video. I’ve done this route the other direction before but with Scottish Citylink where the coach doesn’t actually go on the ferry and you connect to a local bus at the Belfast end, meaning you have to transfer your bags. This service looks better. Great trip, as you say, especially on a nice day. I’m just home from Canada and last week I travelled on a very similar service from Vancouver to Victoria on the BC Ferry Connector, which is also a through coach/ferry/coach service using the same bus. A very relaxing way to travel. The driver from Vancouver was telling me he’s amazed more people don’t use it over there. I guess people really like their cars.

[@hannoncoach8909]

Hi Derek, yes, the fact that our coach goes with you the whole way is such an important part of our service and why so many people use it. We handle the check-in process as well so passengers don't have to worry about that either and can sit back and relax. 🚌🚢🚌☺
