Island Line trains between Ryde and Shanklin have been suspended this morning (Saturday) due to an obstruction on the track.
Adverse weather conditions are continuing to affect the Island and are now thought to have brought a tree down across the railway line.
81mph winds have been recorded at The Needles today, as previously reported by Island Echo.
It’s unknown when services will resume but it’s been confirmed that the 09:15 Shanklin to Ryde has been cancelled.
Furthermore, Island Line is advising that there are lighting issues at Sandown and Shanklin stations.
At Ryde, the ticket office will be closed from 15:00 for the rest of the day.
UPDATE @ 11:05 – Services have now resumed.
It has been confirmed that a cable fell across the line, not a tree as initially thought.
