Ferries and flights resume after storm disruption

Ferry crossings between the Isle of Man and Lancashire and Liverpool have resumed after disruption due to gales brought by Storm Ashley.

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's sailings were cancelled on Saturday 19 Oct night and throughout Sunday the island was hit by gusts of up to 72mph (116km/h).

The Manxman's morning sailing to Heysham left Douglas at 08:00 BST with the rest of the days sailings set to go ahead as planned.

Flights to and from the island, which saw a number of cancellations on Sunday due to the weather, have also returned to normal schedules.

An amber weather warning was in place for Saturday night, with a yellow weather warning in place from Sunday afternoon into the early hours of Monday.

Barriers remained in place in Ramsey and Castletown throughout the weekend to prevent flooring around harbour areas at times of high tide.
