High winds cause problems for cross-Solent travel (updated)

High winds on the Solent have led to the suspension of the Hovertravel service this morning (Saturday).

“Hovertravel wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

We’ll let you know once the service is back up again.

Update

4.15pm Hovertravel services are back in normal operation. 

Red Funnel
Not due to wind, but ‘operational reasons’, there are problems with the RedJet service too.

Wightlink
No problems reported yet

Beach clean
The Compton Bay Beach clean is also postponed due to the high winds and will, hopefully, take place on Sunday from 12.30pm instead.
