May mean long waits for sailings
The Island’s passenger watchdog body says it has serious concerns about plans to have people show photo identification before they can board a ferry.
The Department of Home Affairs is asking for views from the public about the proposals, and there are around three weeks left to get in touch.
But Travelwatch says it has misgivings over the plans – particularly as it could mean long waiting times in Douglas and other ports served by the Steam Packet around the Irish Sea.
John Pennington says checking passenger lists against photo IDs would take considerable amounts of time on each sailing:
Contractors to start installing 20mph signs in Douglas and Onchan
Road closures in place following incident in Hillberry area
Accessible bus stops rolled out across Bus Vannin network
£1 million National AI Office launched to coordinate artificial intelligence policy and adoption
