Sharp drop in bus boss trips since pandemic

Bus Vannin trips off the island cost just a twentieth of pre-Covid levels last year, it's been revealed.

A Freedom of Information request to the Department of Infrastructure asked how much each year was spent on expenses for trips to the UK, Ireland and Europe.

In its response the DOI said last year it spent £1,036, compared to £2,175 last year.

The figures also show tens of thousands of pound were spent in years before the pandemic - with the highest figure of £21,517 spent between 2019 and 2020.
