The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service are attending a small incident at Ryde Pier this lunchtime (Wednesday).
2 appliances and a Land Rover 4×4 are currently on scene at the seafront location, but there appears to be no major concerns and no firefighting taking place.
Firefighters have driven the 4×4 vehicle up the pier and are inspecting the railway section of the structure around two-thirds of the way up.
South Western Railway staff are also in attendance.
Waves are crashing over the pier as high tide clashes with strong, gusty winds.

It is understood that Island Line trains are currently unable to serve Ryde Pier Head.
UPDATE @ 13:42 – It has been confirmed that trains are unable to operate between Ryde Esplanade and Ryde Pier Head.
