Thanks for the update, maljoe! Much appreciated.

I've a question about Heysham Docks - the road in which many of your (and others') photos are taken near Heysham Docks appears to be a public road as you can access it on Google Maps Street View - I did notice a sign stating 'Restricted Area', however. Is this sign in relation to the port/storage area itself or the road which I assumed to be public access?

I was thinking about heading to Heysham myself on a Sunday in summer, but it's not worth the hassle if I'm going to be told to scram.

Unless you pop over to the Isle of Man and then you would be entirely justified to be in the docks.

Looking at the Bus Vannin website (http://www.gov.im/publictransport/Bus/), they have have quite an interesting fleet these days!

If they haven't arrived already, Heysham should see the arrival of a Streetdeck in a variant of a First livery.
Ditto a Sapphire Streetlite.
Both sat at Victoria Dock, Belfast doing nowt very recently.

Quite possibly.
It was parked up in a separate compound to the passenger terminal, so couldn't get a closer look.
The livery certainly looks very similar.
