Editing Alderney (section)

==Transport==
Alderney is served by [[Alderney Airport]]. There are several flights each day from [[Southampton Airport|Southampton]] and [[Guernsey Airport|Guernsey]], with links to many parts of the United Kingdom and Europe. [[Aurigny]] serves the island with [[Dornier 228]]s.

Boats sail regularly between the island and France, and to the other Channel Islands. Manche Iles Express operates a high-speed passenger ferry in summer to Diélette in the commune of [[Flamanville, Manche]] in France, and to [[St Peter Port]], Guernsey. Two boats offer seasonal service to Guernsey. A 12-passenger boat operates services to [[Cherbourg Harbour]], [[Sark]] and St Peter Port.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.visitalderney.com/how-to-get-to-alderney/|title=Visit Alderney: How to Travel to Alderney by Air or Sea|work=Alderney – The Channel Island|access-date=15 October 2010|archive-date=3 November 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101103024619/http://www.visitalderney.com/how%2Dto%2Dget%2Dto%2Dalderney/|url-status=live}}</ref> Alderney is {{convert|72.5|mi|abbr=off}} from [[St Malo]] and {{convert|70.3|mi|abbr=off}} from [[Poole]].

There are boat trips, water-taxi services and water and fuel access to visiting yacht crews. The busiest time is during the peak months of June, July and August as nearly 30,000 yacht crew members visit this harbour every year.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}}

Because of the island's size, vehicular transport is often unnecessary, although taxis, cars and bicycles are used. The [[Alderney Railway]] is the only remaining railway in the Channel Islands; it gives a timetabled public service, with scheduled trains to the lighthouse during the summer and special occasions such as Easter and Christmas. There is an occasional bus service around the island.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}}

Alderney allows people to ride motorbikes and [[moped]]s without helmets and drive cars without seatbelts, but it is compulsory for those under 18 to wear helmets. The [[List of international vehicle registration codes|international vehicle registration code]] is ''GBA''.

As in the rest of the [[Bailiwick of Guernsey]], mopeds and motorbikes with an engine of 50cc or less can be driven from the age of 14 with a [[Provisional license|provisional licence]].
