As Matt Kitchin waves goodbye and heads to Manchester, Richard Tyldsley heads to the Isle of Wight to take over the General Manager role at Southern Vectis and Bluestar.
With buses running frequently, connecting with every ferry at Ryde, East Cowes, Cowes and Yarmouth, customers can save their queuing for the Portaloos and beer tents at Bestival.
Matt will be leaving in October to take up a post on Manchester, the operator’s largest UK bus subsidiary outside of London, after working hard to build an excellent reputation for himself on the Island.
Up until now Young People on the Island have only been able to buy bundles of tickets to use day after day. That's now all changed. Here's how to apply.
Southern Vectis are providing shuttle buses from all ferry ports to and from the Bestival site, as well as shuttle buses into Newport. Late night Sunday shuttles will run to main towns directly from the Bestival site.
Good news for those in Shanklin who were worried about the cliff lift being out of action and no bus service to take visitors/residents down to the seafront.
