There are no changes to current medevac operations, including the transportation of urgent medical and pathology supplies.

Any passengers travelling by air travel are reminded that normal check in rules, and normal security screening rules including liquids, gels and pastes in hand luggage still apply.

Walking and cycling is a great way to travel. Walking or cycling can make you fitter, supports good mental health and is great for the environment. Walking and cycling where possible will keep you healthy, reduce pressure on public transport and the road network. 

With Phase 5 of Guernsey’s exit from lockdown under way and the Island now back to the ‘new normal’, the bus service operated by CT Plus will return to a full standard timetable from Monday 29 June 2020. 

Weekday and weekend services, including the night bus on Fridays and Saturdays, will be operating as normal, with the exception of the published additional summer services that were due to operate between 11th April and 12th October (highlighted in yellow in the published timetable). This is due to decreased demand for these additional services in the absence of cruise ship passengers and other tourists.

Contactless payment is still the preferred method, for example contactless bank cards, pre-paid Puffin passes and mobile Apps such as Apple Pay. Pay as You Go (PAYG) 'orange' puffin passes are available to purchase on board buses and from the kiosk at a cost of £5. However, should a passenger be unable to use one of the aforementioned options, cash will not be refused.

The full standard timetable can be viewed at http://www.buses.gg/files/J000452-GUERNSEY-TIMETABLE-2020.pdf. Please note that services highlighted in yellow are not operating.

During phase 5, which commences Sat 20th June, all social distancing restrictions in your own vehicle will be lifted. 

If you are using your car to transport family or friends to/from the Airport from/to a place of self-isolation you must maintain social distancing requirements and hygiene standards.  This means your passenger must sit in the back of the car and on the opposite side to you, with the windows open, and that you decontaminate all the surfaces e.g. seats, door handles etc. that might have been touched by the passenger. Please ensure your passenger wears the face mask issued to them prior to boarding the aircraft until they reach their final destination.

Taxi services/companies are operating. View a full list of local taxi companies here. 

When traveling in taxis please follow the advice of the driver who may ask you to sit in a specific seat and/or use hand sanitiser.

For more information on travelling to your self-isolation destination and to testing drive-through can be found at https://covid19.gov.gg/guidance/travel/general. 

Facemasks are not required when travelling around Guernsey and Alderney. They are required for travel on an aeroplane or boat outside of the Bailiwick to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus from any infected passengers. Passengers are asked to bring their own where possible, but for travellers unable to source one, a mask will be provided at the port.

Aurigny exempts the following groups from wearing a face mask when travelling into and out of the Bailiwick:

• Children under the age of eleven;
• Those with a valid reason supported by:
  • A medical certificate;
  • An exemption document from the UK government website – see here; or
  • A sunflower lanyard.

No, all restrictions have been lifted so we can travel around our Islands and enjoy our Bailiwick bubble. You may find that some establishments will still keep a record of your attendance for easy contact tracing.
