Ferry across the Mersey?
Ferry from IOM lands back in Liverpool at 19.15 so the ferry across the river will have stopped for the day ... what's the options for cycling across the river? Realistically, am I better / safer heading east and crossing on the trans pennine trail?

Runcorn bridge. Or pack raft...
Both dicey options ;-)

Get the train, mersey rail ate ace and let anyone on their trains. I've gone on with my fat bike many a time at rush hour and they don't bat am eyelid. Also fine for the underground bit, if only all train companies were the same

Head to James Street station.
Get in the lift with your bike, catch the next train and head west.
Get off at Hamilton Square
Or take the right train all the way to Chester to get you nearer home and in a better bivi spot in more countryside

Failing that ask someone local with a car & bikerack to come and pick you up...
Wait for me...

Don't forget your Welsh -English -Scouse translator

Try to avoid peak times too as the trains can be rammed and the bike space usually ends up being used for buggies/prams/suitcases etc.
