NorthLink warns of possible disruption through Easter weekend

NORTHLINK has warned of the likelihood of disruption to services over the weekend and in to Monday.

It comes after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for wind on Sunday, which lasts throughout the entire day.

The Met Office said gusts of up to 50mph could be expected, and that strong winds could lead to some damage and travel disruption.

NorthLink has not provided any specific details about disruptions or cancellations yet, but said there was the possibility of disruption from Saturday 4 through to Monday 6 April.
