South Western Railway is to invest over £300,000 in community projects during the new rail franchise. Local groups are encouraged to apply for community funding related to the railway.
South Western Railway have now launched their consultation on the Island Line service. A public meeting will be held on 14th December to discuss a community response by campaign group, KILF.
The new timetable from May 2019 for South Western Railway’s Portsmouth and Southampton main lines feature extra services. Island Line also benefits too for Sunday travellers. Details within.
Anyone with an interest in the future of Island Line trains is invited to this public meeting being held on Thursday (14th from 7pm) at Shanklin Theatre. Your view matters and could help inform the consultation response.
Isle of Wight MP, Bob Seely says he does not believe the planned two-day rail strike has anything to do with the Island and condemns the action of RMT Union members.
