Yeah that sounds about right and so I used to just put out the crackers Oh yes but I've since been promoted to parsnips or no. That's a lot of responsibility Yeah. This is new b.b.c. Radio Cumbria. B.b.c. Radio Cumbria linemen. She has. Sounding very nice this Wednesday morning and I love your smile how you doing it welcome to the show if you just joined us it's cattle. I'm keeping you company until noon. Yet just after 11 o'clock on your local b.b.c. Radio Cumbria No I just heard in the news there and it hasn't happened since the 1930. But today a new steamer is being launched on windy Mia the multi-million pound m.v. Swift has been assembled at Lakeside that the southern end of winter near today is Jude to enter the water for the 1st time how is she getting on I've seen some brilliant photographs on the b.b.c. Cumbria Twitter page of your own twitter give us a follow on you can see that Neil Smith he's hit the jackpot because he's at the shores of wind made for us right now morning Neil Good morning Caroline from like saw it and as I speak you might just be able to hear the word of the one of the 2 must've read cranes which are here and it's just dropping the boom down to put the straps on the Nate the from tens of the vase with big orange stripes that will then be used in tandem with another crime which is holding the back of the vessel to lift it up a swing it round and drop it into the like they start the pull on Gen call Mark is with me from when the like cruises so I mean I've simply felt that this is a highly tactical operation as it is yeah I hope they don't just drop it into the egg the release it gently into the leg but yeah the the amount of work that's gone into that to get in is to this point and it's a hugely hugely technical and procedure it takes a while as well doesn't it I mean not just because of the lack of dropping and the gentleness but you know probably about an hour or so should be about an hour Yes Yesterday we brought with him a build site behind the aquarium through the small gap there to the situation here where she is today and that took about an hour and a half as well so everything is quiet very well full time process and you say Bill saw it because you've really been using the bottom end of the car park here as I mean you should be out on we have yes she was built in the Netherlands and brought over in 7 sections and fabricated here behind the aquarium in that build. It's been amazing to watch you go together an upturn also presents challenges doesn't it because you know there's a lot of houses behind there and then we've got a Victorian key here which wasn't designed to have a 150 ton trains on it and I was only definitely not know and we have been in contact with the neighbors here at Lakeside kept them dated of what's happening they've been really really helpful to us they've obviously understood when we've had noisy works going on we tell them when that would be and yeah hopefully they'll be one of the 1st ones to me and the swift so you have to explain what then happens because once she's in the water this is not a vessel you can put straight into service by any stretch of the imagination is it definitely not no she's literally going in as a steel hole will then lift the the wheel house on to it which is there on the car part and then there's going to be about 4 months with it and doing all the fitting out of it so hopefully by Easter she'll be ready and then we will have our crew ready to train be ready to be trained to to to sail. With from within the company is not is not a sort of a pecking order thing is not a you know a people a ching to actually be 9th as part of the crew I think they are yes I think it's very much one of the most sought after jobs Thankfully that's not my department so I just imagine if you get 9 does the new muster another use that word for man up women don't have that you know you'll get fit to be the new the 1st captain and the ship's not that's quite something important definitely something yes so next summer yes should be in service or going well yeah how it's not going to affect the operation because you know you've got 3 old steam of vessels and they're not sitting in haven't been seen for years but with the people still call and say Yes I'd like that this was the to the to you line up a 4th was out how you going to work how is this going to affect what you do I think the 1st year it will be very much and all of our other vessels have been their normal service so and this we will take up any of the services when need be and we'll look to private charters will work. In closely with the hotels because she's only 34 metres long she can get into a lot of the hotel jetties so working close with them on weddings and private charters So for the 1st year it will very much be kind of a trial really and then to look to put her into shed you will surface from 2021 and you mentioned getting in through all of the jetties which gives you a lot more flexibility but the other thing which we can't see yet because the vessel has only fitted out what is going to have removable windows all the way around so you can use it and you know your yes so the top deck there that you can say that the windows will be able to come down to a hot summer's day the windows will come down so I guess can experience the fresh air on a summer's day when it's raining well put their windows open specially for winter rest $364.00 days a year operation so if a winter is it's great for us to have that will protect where the windows can be raised and we can use that for guests as well and then beyond your company you are the largest private tourism operator in Cumbria But beyond that what's important do you hope this is going to then have on the wider tourist economy hopefully will bring more people to the area or offer a diverse offering which would not have before as you mentioned all of our other vessels are very traditional This is going to be a modern vessel at large modern vessel so hopefully we'll be able to work with all the businesses of the hotels and to bring in a different all of the types of business those people who haven't seen the the images that we've been putting on our Twitter feed this morning and you've gotten yours as well there is quite a knowledge to the past in the design when we're not talking about some 21st century monstrosity of us on the road with very very much so and that was really important to us when we were looking to find the right boat builder and the design that they had to how to have a nod to our traditional vessels and that was really important for the to keep it within keeping of what the late district has to offer we wouldn't want to a modern looking vessel on the legs it just it would wouldn't look. Lake District final question how do you feel today looking at this excited nervous and can't wait to see it go in the water it's been a long process to get here and are still a lot today but yeah total make sure the excitement and. John Coleman thank you very much for joining us here sorry for using more dropping Oh no no you think you're going throughout the rocky Yeah I haven't even mentioned Caroline the you know let's make sure all the buns are in the vessel doesn't sink to the bottom there the lake Rangers are here just keeping an eye on it I did notice someone from a diving company turned up just to have a look the other thing I should mention in terms of turning up there is actually quite a sizable crowd of onlookers of gathered here as well all lined up underneath the canopy alongside the likes aquarium the straps are now on for and after they're just doing some adjustments of the ones for end of the ship so Carol I think probably in just relatively minutes times the cranes will tart start taking the train in this 2 crane lift is going to be carefully choreographed is a bit like a dance really to lift the vessel up and into when demand should be happening pretty pretty soon now all was a holy hall a b.b.c. Radio Cumbria is Neil Smith beside the shores of Wyndham ear for a speaking with James core Mark and yeah in just a few moments time the cranes doing their job lowering. The multi-million pound steamer and movie swift she's called in to win the Mia and I urge you if you're on Twitter check out the photographs kneels posted up there b.b.c.

He called in his questions the Prime Minister's integrity saying he can't be trusted to tell the truth and the Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson told Party supporters in sorry the Mr Johnson didn't deserve people's votes he does not care about anyone other than himself we have seen that time and time again and if he gets a majority he will spend the next 5 years not caring about you and your family and that's why liberal Democrats are winning seats for all the conservatives it's why what everyone was doing is so important a private jet that skidded off the runway at Liverpool John Lennon Airport is in the process of being moved flights can be restarted it means all flights in and out of the airport are currently suspended disrupted hundreds of passengers post opposes the operations director and explains how passengers are being moved to Manchester both airports of got fairly good considering the plans in place and that if either of our airlines can operate then we'll quite often bus passengers to each other's airports so this is not I would says a common practice but when there's any kind of disruption this does happen so it's quite a you know a well operated plan efforts are underway to lower a new steamer on to when to me it the biggest to be launched on the lake in more than 80 years the m.v.
