flag Conservative MP Joe Robertson introduces a bill Nov. 5, 2025, to regulate ferries like buses and trains, addressing high fares, unreliable schedules, and lack of accountability.

flag Conservative MP Joe Robertson is introducing the Ferry Services (Integration and Regulation) Bill on November 5, 2025, to bring ferry operations under national regulation similar to buses and trains. flag He cites unaffordable fares—up to £400 for a car return—unreliable schedules, and lack of accountability, particularly for essential travel like medical visits or funerals. flag The bill aims to protect socially necessary routes, align ferry timetables with rail services, and ensure fair pricing, countering concerns that private equity ownership and surge pricing deter families and harm tourism on the Isle of Wight.
