UPDATE THURSDAY – Island Line is once again running an hourly service today due to another train fault.
Disruption is expected until 14:00 today.
Nice thick layer of tarmac, private shuttle bus, sorted. Perhaps Island roads could do it at the weekend, must have plenty left over, for it sure isn’t getting laid on the Islands roads which need it.
‘Trains catch ferry disease’
Getting beyond a joke now, more like floaty, sooner there scrapped the better, let’s get trams up and down, cut down on staffing, get it sorted,.
Obviously from someone who doesn’t live on the island, new trains on order and hardly any staff as is.
Then. Maybe the staff can have you’re job that’s assuming u do work
Just turn the leccy off .and tie a horse on the front .eco friendly and more reliable.
If only there was other ways to get from Shanklin to Ryde or West Cowes to East Cowes , if anyone can think let me know
Taxi, bus, cycle need anymore let me know.
Taxi..
Boring
SCRAP THE ELECTRIC RUBBISH AND PUT STEAM TRAINS BACK ON MAKE TUNNELL AT RYDE BIGGER AND SHUTTLE TO PIER HEAD
Not been taken over by Wightlink have they??
