Belfast is a better destination from Kent. Dulin would be a good destination too. Whether the times of day and regularity will suit I am not so sure though. I am sure it will do better than Manchester, I will consider an Ireland holiday now for starters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-31972701112016422502011-03-16T23:46:46.313+00:002011-03-16T23:46:46.313+00:00i hear on the news that the failure of the manches...i hear on the news that the failure of the manchester service is because of the lack of a railway station, with ramsgate station 10 minutes away, and an excellent taxi service available right outside the station that seems a bit disingenuous to say the least.<br />I am sure flybe have done their homework but is there a great call for a ramsgate to belfast service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-87246048035215256462011-03-16T21:07:35.201+00:002011-03-16T21:07:35.201+00:00Which town Tony?

If I were to win the lottery I would build a seacology centre and use it to promote the coast and put together a detailed collection of every marine living thing that lives off our coast. The Thanet coastline is unique and is very under estimated.<br />The situation with the beach whale is something else unique, unfortunately it was cut up and thrown away and the other parts of the whale looted and taken away from Thanet.A J Ovendenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145698477921862643noreply@blogger.com
