Hovertravel services between Ryde and Southsea are running with delays of up to 90 minutes today (Monday) due to what is understood to be a technical issue.
Solent Flyer is experiencing difficulties and, as a result, delays of up to 90 minutes may be experienced whilst engineers work to fix the issue.
The operator’s other craft, Island Flyer, is currently undergoing maintenance so cannot be drafted in to keep the service operational.
Passengers have been told that engineers hope to have the issue fixed by 11:00.
UPDATE @ 10:30 – Hovertravel has advised that delays are up to 60 minutes instead of 90.
UPDATE @ 12:15 – Services are running on time with no delays.
The new Wightlink for service reliability… and you were doing so well.. but have ended up alongside Wightlink.. equally hopeless
