Passengers are advised that Island Line train services have resumed between Ryde St John’s Road Station and Ryde Pier Head Station.

Services were suspended earlier this morning following heavy snowfall on the Isle of Wight which has also affected roads in the area.

However, Island Line has reinstated trains between Ryde St John’s Road and Ryde Pier Head and is running two trains per hour, as per the normal timetable, which also allow passengers to link with ferry sailings.

Trains are not currently able to operate beyond Ryde St John’s Road as snowy conditions continue to cause problems. Engineers are working to restore services in full as quickly as possible.

Island Line General Manager Andy Naylor said: “We have seen significant snowfall overnight on the Isle of Wight along with other parts of south west England. It is good news for passengers that we have been able to restore a partial service and we are working hard to reinstate a full service on the network as soon as we can. We would like to thank passengers for their understanding during these difficult weather conditions.”
