00:00Hello and welcome to Manchester World, my name is Theo Cousinbetts and this is People

00:03on the Street. Today I'm going out into the city of Manchester to ask people about travel

00:07in the EU and that's because as of October this year, people travelling into the EU from

00:12the UK are now going to be expected to show a photo ID as well as scanning their fingerprints

00:16at the airport and we want to know if this is going to put people off travelling or is

00:19it just another part of a stressful process.

00:21I'm old enough to say I've owned Romain, so I didn't know about that and it's just

00:26a bit annoying but, again, we have to queue up in different ways in terms of passports

00:32so it's just kind of something we have to deal with.

00:35I think it's just going to be another slot in the machine of a stressful process.

00:39I mean, yeah, airports and travel can be quite stressful just in itself, it's just the

00:43luck, it's just the card we've been drawn and you've just got to roll with it.

00:47I think I get why people would be put off and I wasn't actually aware of it, trying to get

00:52an Irish passport at the moment so I could bypass that but I get why it would deter people.
