Two regions have done well out of Brexit:

1. Northern Ireland, which has remained more integrated with the EU economy than the rest of the UK has seen its economy (measured by regional value added per person) increase more than any other region;

2. Rotterdam and surrounding environs, which have seen a major increase in warehousing by UK firms seeking to keep their stock/products *within* the EU.

Not sure either of those appeared on the side of a red bus....

At Rosslare, Ireland’s closest port to France, sailings and cargo capacity for roll-on, roll-off shipments by lorry have quadrupled in the past month. Other vessels are being rerouted from Belfast, Liverpool and Holyhead to launch more Dublin-France services.

New ferry service this year from Cork (Ringaskiddy) to Boulogne, as well as the existing ones to Normandy and Spain.

I hope it does well...🤞
