Hovertravel has suspended its cross-Solent service for the remainder of the day due to a technical issue.
The Ryde-Southsea operation has ground to a halt due to a problem developing with the only hovercraft that was available for service.
It’s said that tickets are now being accepted on Wightlink’s Fastcat service between Ryde Pier Head – Portsmouth as commuters head home at the end of the working day.
The next anticipated Hovertravel crossing will be the 06:15 from Ryde on Wednesday morning.
UPDATE WEDNESDAY – The 06:15 crossing has failed to run, with Hovertravel now stating the first crossing of the day will be the 07:15 from Ryde.
UPDATE @ 07:09 – Hovertravel says service will resume at 07:45 from Ryde.
