One of the main routes into Shanklin has been closed due to a gas leak this afternoon (Thursday).
The Island’s bus operator Southern Vectis has said that a section of Victoria Avenue has been shut to allow the emergency repair works to take place.
As a result of the closure, route 2 buses serving the area between Shanklin and Whiteley Bank are being diverted.
Those traveling in that direction are being advised to divert via Apse Heath.
Never knew the island could afford to keep buses running
Jog on Troll you are getting boring now.
Love your Comments
Was this another accident by Wight Fibre as they have been digging that road for weeks now?
Same as usual just repairs,no new services installed or pipes laid , then further along the line they will close the road off again dig the up and do another repair , then share holders gets rich quick .
Maybe this goverment needs to get a grip and legislate that all services should be renewed and not just repaired and all below ground eliminating any storm damage by inserting Ducting underground ,this include water ,gas ,electric ,telephone , ect .
It’s got to a point where I just drive through the lights. Last week you had to drive through 6 temp traffic lights from Ventnor to Niton via the under cliff. Utter nonsense.
