177 buses cancelled during TT, contrary to claims 'all went ahead'

FOI request raises questions over minister's comments

One-hundred-and-seventy-seven buses were cancelled during the TT fortnight, according to the response to a recent Freedom of Information request.

That's despite these comments from the former infrastructure minister last month:

Tim Crookall, speaking in the House of Keys in June, claimied despite social media reports all journeys went ahead as scheduled, despite services being stretched over the motorsport fortnight

The Department of Infrastructure, and Mr Crookall, have been approached for comment.
