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 19th MAY 2009

Question

Given an earlier answer to my question regarding luggage provision on the Airport Bus, when will improved provision be introduced?

Answer

In my previous answer to the Deputy on 3rd February 2009, I stated that Transport and Technical Services were working with Connex to provide luggage facilities on the Route 15 and that I had requested both a short term fix in time for the summer season and a longer term solution.

I am now delighted to advise the Deputy that three buses have been adapted to provide luggage space and that these will be operating on the service from the start of the summer schedule on Sunday 24th May.

This will mean that half of the buses serving the airport will provide luggage facilities and I am continuing to work with Connex to ensure that all airport buses will have such facilities. The adaptation includes a specific area for luggage but also an increased standing area with two flip-up seats which can also accommodate pushchairs.
