Northern Ireland via Heysham - Belfast steamer services : Leaflet issued by Britiah Railways, London Midland Region : 1962 : design by Maddox

            For many years the short sea crossing between th eports of Heysham in Lancashire and Belfast in Northern Ireland were in the hands of the railway's shipping services; British Railways had inherited the ferry service here from the LMSR who had acquired them in 1923 with the 'grouping' of the Midland Railway who had first seriously developed the port and services. 

This leaflet describes the various seasonal enhancements made to the normal daily service that was provided by one of the three new ferries, the Duke of Lancaster, the Duke of Argyll and the Duke of Rothesay. It also includes details of the main train services serving the sailings. Heysham still has a train-ferry connection provided by one service a day on the Morecambe branch being extended down to the Port platforms.  

The cover has a design by Maddox of a ship's wheel with the shamrock centred.
