Since the MP was elected, he’s spoken about extending the Isle of Wight train line at both ends. Looks like this recent news could mark one step closer to that goal
There was a great deal of excitement on the Isle of Wight yesterday (and beyond) as the first new Class 484 Island Line train arrived. See the video and photos within
News OnTheWight rode the first Island Line train out of Shanklin this morning (6:15am!) as the service returns after ten months (seven of those being delays)
South Western Railways says the new timetable "will provide sufficient capacity to cover current and forecast demand, while making a series of changes to improve customer journeys"
Official word is ‘later this summer’ for twice-delayed Island Line reopening – but we’ve been sent a screen grab of National Rail Website that stretches that considerably – but matches what we’d been told months back
It’s all change for the new upcoming Island Line trains. OnTheWight has secured a first glimpse at what the interiors will look like and detail their new facilities and passenger capacity.
