First foot passenger fare proposed for Corran Ferry

A foot passenger fare could be introduced for the first time on Europe's busiest single-vessel car ferry.

Highland Council said a £2 charge could generate £20,516 a year on its Corran Ferry service in Lochaber.

The five minute crossing of Loch Linnhe's Corran Narrows carries about 270,000 cars and 11,000 commercial vehicles a year.

Councillors agreed to a 10% increase on vehicle fares in March, but left a decision on foot passengers to next week's economy and infrastructure committee.
