CalMac pays out £460,000 to delayed ferry passengers
CalMac has paid out more than £460,000 in compensation to passengers because of delays and cancellations to its services since April last state-owned ferry operator paid £432,735 in compensation to travellers in 2024-25, with a further £33,792 paid out in May and June this marks a 37% rise on compensation payments in 2023-24, but a slight fall from 2022-23, when the operator paid £454,000 to delayed passengers, according to figures obtained by the Scottish Liberal Democrats.A Transport Scotland spokesperson said just over 5% of sailings on the network had been cancelled over the last 10 years. Lib Dem transport spokesman, Jamie Greene, accused the Scottish government of "letting the ferry network deteriorate".He pointed to reliability issues within the CalMac fleet and delays in new vessels going into service. The Glen Sannox ferry, built by Port Glasgow shipyard Ferguson Marine, was delivered years late and over sister ship, the Glen Rosa, will now not be delivered until early next year due to a series of the MV Caledonian Isles, which has not sailed since January last year, could be out of action for a further four months in order to undergo further Lib Dems have launched a consultation on the future of the country's ferry who represents the West Scotland region, said staff and passengers had been "let down" by the SNP's management of the networkHe added: "The SNP government took control of the company and broke their promise to deliver new ferries on time and on budget, which would have reduced the massive bills we are now seeing for compensation and repairs."All of this has created a grim new norm for my constituents along the west coast, from losing business to missing hospital appointments." Data obtained by the Lib Dems via freedom of information request showed more than 7,000 compensation claims had been lodged by passengers over a two-year period between April 2023 and April operator has paid out a total of £1.9m in compensation since the 2017-18 financial said it expected to welcome an additional 13 vessels to its fleet by said, when delays and cancellations did occur, staff worked to find alternative routes or sailings for passengers.A spokesperson added: "We're operating more sailings than ever before, with many of our vessels stretched to their limits."It is no secret that our fleet is ageing and that this can lead to higher levels of technical problems."This is why we are looking forward to welcoming 13 new vessels to the CalMac fleet by 2029, which will lead to less technical problems and cancellations, giving passengers a more reliable service." A Transport Scotland spokesperson said those new vessels would be able to "operate in more challenging sea and weather conditions".They added: "Between January 2015 and June 2025 CalMac have operated over 1.6 million sailings, with just 5.5% of scheduled sailings cancelled. Of those cancelled sailings, 25% were for technical reasons whilst more than double was due to the weather at 60%."In the coming year, the Scottish government intend to invest over £530m maintaining and enhancing our networks and strengthening resilience of services on the west coast and northern isles."This represents a near 23% increase on 24-25 funding levels."

Families on Universal Credit can apply for free cash worth £800 to help with the cost of living – are you eligible?
STRUGGLING households could get a lifeline worth up to £812 in one-off payments from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The cash is available through Budgeting Loans, designed to help cover shock expenses like essential household items or unexpected travel costs. 1 It is important to note that this is not a grant, but a loan, and will be deducted in instalments from future benefit payments until repaid in full. However, unlike commercial bank or credit card loans, there are no interest charges, making it a safer option for those struggling. But there's a catch – only those who've been on certain benefits for six months can apply. And while it's not free money, you'll only pay back what you borrow, with repayments automatically taken from your benefits. Who is eligible? Anyone who has received Universal Credit, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance or Pension for over six months is eligible to apply. However, if you have earned more than £2,600 or £3,600 for combined couples in the last six months, it will not be granted. Also if you have savings or capital over £1,000, the jobcentre will reduce the amount you can borrow by the amount of money you have over that amount. For example, if you have £1,250 in your savings, your loan will be reduced by £250. Capital is defined as savings and some types of property. You also cannot apply if you are still repaying a previous Budgeting Advance loan. If granted, repayment will usually be split over 24 months, but if you stop receiving the benefit, you will still have to repay the loan in full. What shock expenses does it cover? Whilst each case is assessed individually, some examples of what the loan is designed for are: A one-off replacement, such as replacing a broken fridge Work-related expenses such as purchasing a uniform or tools Unexpected expenses, such as your car breaking down Repairs to your home Maternity expenses Funeral expenses Moving costs or rent deposit Essential items such as clothes For an exhaustive list, see the government website here. How much can you borrow? The smallest amount you can borrow is £100, but the maximum amount you are entitled to depends on your family situation. You can borrow: £364 if you are single without children £464 if you are in a couple without children £812 if you have children How to apply for the loan? Often, the terrifying costs that the loan is designed for are sudden, so you can usually expect a decision on the day you apply. You can apply for the loan in the journal of your Universal Credit account, with your nearest Jobcentre or via the Universal Credit helpline on 0800 328 5644. Your work coach will assess whether you are capable of repaying the loan and will ask about existing debts and capital. Citizens Advice said that whilst you can't appeal the decision, if you can prove that your circumstances have changed, you can ask for it to be looked at again. What if I am not eligible or haven't received benefits for six months? If you have applied for Universal Credit or other eligible benefits but have yet to receive your first payment, you won't apply for a Budgeting Advance, but might apply for an Advance Payment. This can entitle you to 100% of your first Universal Credit payment to get you on your feet, as payments are paid retrospectively based on your earnings from the previous month. If you are within your assessment period and have had an interview at a Jobcentre you can apply online through your Universal Credit account and it will conveniently calculate the amount you are entitled to borrow. If you have passed the first assessment, you will need to speak to your work coach or call the helpline. Either way, you will usually have a decision on the day. Like the Budgeting Advance, it is critical that claimants understand that Advance payments are a loan and will be docked off future payments. New claimants usually are given up to two years to pay it back and in extreme circumstances, the repayments can be delayed up to three months. If you stop receiving Universal Credit, you will still have to repay the loan through wages or an alternative benefit.
