Further Notes
ACD - Thu 01/09/1904 - DRS; RPSGB.
Last steamer, to Dublin, sailed Wed 31/08/1904 - RHRGB Vol.10 The North West D&C p236.
Morecambe (1st) continued in use until the opening of a temporary station (exact location unknown) from Sun 04/11/1906, which in turn was replaced by Morecambe (2nd), later Promenade, from Sun 24/03/1907 - RPSGB. I have included maps showing both pre- and post-closure layouts for clarity.
*Mileage calculated using OS map measuring tool.
This is another borderline case in terms of inclusion criteria. The service does not appear to have regularly featured in printed timetables, possibly due to the ferry sailing times being subject to tidal conditions - see RPSGB for more details.
