Ben sailing again this morning

The Ben my Chree is sailing this morning after high winds led to last night's crossing being cancelled.

The Steam Packet says she will depart 15 minutes earlier than normal at 8.30am with passengers asked to check in no later than 8am.

This afternoon's return sailing is scheduled to depart on time at 2.15

Meanwhile, the Mountain road remains closed this morning due to snow and ice overnight. Police say the situation will be reviewed later today.

There have been further hail showers this morning making roads slippery in places around Douglas and Onchan.
