Another was Liverpool to Victoria Rapide daily return 7 days a week.
We also used to single man a daily Southport to Southsea, return next day.
Would not like to do any of them nowadays, too much traffic.
For tight reversing, try backing onto the ferry at Sheerness during a storm. Or reversing onto the rail ferry at Folkestone, doesn't run now. Showing my age again.
Just thought about the hovercraft Dover to Calais, but we could only take Duple Ford coaches because of height restrictions.

Was that the Charabanc days?
