WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 3rd FEBRUARY 2009

Question

Given the Minister's acknowledgement during the election for his post that it was completely daft to have an airport bus that cannot accommodate suitcases' when is it intended to provide suitable baggage space on buses serving the Airport?

Answer

Transport and Technical Services are working with Connex to provide luggage facilities on the Route 15 serving the Airport and I have asked for both a short term fix (ideally to be in place before the main summer season commences) and also a longer term solution to this problem.

I am keen to minimise the loss of seating given the numbers of passengers regularly travelling on this route so I have asked for a range of options to be considered. I will advise the Deputy as soon as Connex is able to provide this facility.
