Island Line Trains: Limited Service ResumesFollowing earlier flooding, a limited hourly service has now resumed this morning on the Island Line.

The services will be departing Shanklin at 40 minutes past each hour and 13 minutes past each hour at Ryde St Johns (updated).

A bus replacement service remain in place between Ryde St Johns and Ryde Esplanade.

Ryde tunnel is still flooded and it is not expected that trains will be able to travel to the pier until at least tomorrow. Island Line engineers continue to work hard to reopen the line in full as soon as possible.

An Island Line spokesperson said: “We would like to apologise to all passengers for the continued disruption caused by the heavy flooding. We are committed to restoring a normal service as soon as possible and will inspect the area of the line still affected regularly. Further updates will be provided as soon as more information becomes available”.
