SATURDAY 18 MARCH

Picture
On the tenth anniversary of being founded, TravelWatch welcomed around 70 people to our Spring Public meeting, including Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer,  Transport Focus’s Anthony Smith, and representatives of the Charity “Bridge the Gap”.
Subjects covered included:-
  • Sea Services + new Liverpool Terminal
  • The New NW Patient Transfer taxi contract
  • Difficulties experienced by vulnerable patients when travelling across
  • Possible Implications of “Brexit “on passenger rights
  • The Work of UK Passenger Watchdog – Transport Focus
  • Difficulties and uncertainties with Air Travel under the “Open Skies” policy
  • TravelWatch’s initiative to try and improve passenger experience at Liverpool Airport.
Chairman Brendan O’Friel commented:
  • "The recent loss of CityWing services brings home yet again the vulnerability of our air services without a “Light Regulation “regime.
  • In TravelWatch’s review of Sea Service issues, particular emphasis was laid on the dangers of fares and charges rising excessively if any new agreement is not tightly drawn.
  • In our review of the Patient Transfer Service TravelWatch Spokesman John Pennington highlighted the actions needed to provide information to patients and to monitor effectively the operation of the new contract.”
