Changes have been made to departure times for sailings from Heysham next week.

On Monday the crossing to Heysham scheduled for 2.15am will now depart at 12.45am, and the 2.15pm sailing across will leave at 1.40pm.

For the following day (Tuesday) the 2am and 2.15pm sailings will now head out at 1.15am and 1.45pm respectively.

Finally, on Wednesday, the Heysham to Douglas journey previously planned for 2.15am will also leave early at 1.45am.

The Steam Packet Company says these alterations are because of tidal restrictions at Heysham Port and forecast high pressure.
