What is this council going to take away from its residents next? We lost the peak concession last year but the budget has been set and if they were intending to do this then it should have been brought out into the open at this stage. If this is a new thought then WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING THAT WAS SET ASIDE FOR THIS. Presumably to pay… Read more »

‘we shall just have to get back in our cars to get to Ryde’ Why not get the bus then if you are old enough to qualify? The trains are actually very cheap, especially with an Island Resident’s card which gives you something like 40% off the fare. You may find it cheaper than going by car and paying for parking etc etc. You’re lucky if you… Read more »

1. Yes, greedy SV bus fares are expensive.

The Island Line Pass cannot be used before 10am (the concessionary pass is/was available from 0930 and until the funding was withdrawn last year was available anytime on the trains). The toptal… Read more »

I wonder how much it actualy cost to offer this? Not much I imagine (maybe expenses bill for one or two senior people in the Council?) and gives the benefit of fewer cars on the roads. OK, buses still available but for those older people worried about lack of loos the quicker train journey could be important! The report could give the impression that older Islanders have… Read more »

IWC pays Island Line £3548.75/month to accept the ‘bus’ passes. Unfortunately no record is kept of the number travellingn(i.e. no tickets issued). I think this is going to hit pensioners hard as in the summer the buses are often verging on full, and delayed in traffic (train is only 20′ Shanklin to Ryde) – how are SV going to accommodate them all. All the buses do not… Read more »

SV and IWC have agreed a fixed payment for concessions, which means that for any extra passengers they only get 7.5p. This is based on a sensible interpretation of the new guidance from the government. However, SV have agreed not to seek any ‘additional costs’ for having to run extra buses to carry concessionary passengers as part of the deal. So SV won’t be getting the money.… Read more »

Great insight – thanks.

Any idea why the additional buses don’t run from Shanklin, instead of Sandown?

The 3 runs Newport-Ventnor-Shanklin-Sandown-Ryde half hourly now The 2 runs Newport – Shanklin – Sandown now. They are doing it by running the two through to Ryde too. they are evenly spaced apart between Shanklin and Ryde, so Shanklin does get a 15 min service to Ryde too. Great insight – thanks.

Not really Bernie, only by 7.5p per passenger journey. You have to understand why IWC ever allowed free travel on the train. It was because Islandline were woried they would lose all their over 60 years passengers when buses went free. IWC managed to get a low cost fixed price deal with Islandline as a result, because it was cheaper than paying for the bus journeys instead.… Read more »

Arnold, the 2 already serves Shanklin (along with the 3), but instead of terminating at Sandown they go through to Ryde.

Oh, and is SV benefitting from this? Err…yeah? An end to the ongoing legal action with the council and a better mechanism for the whole concessionary fares scheme. Win Win.

‘Ed’ (obviously SV management), are you saying that under this ‘deal’ with IOW council that SV will only get 7.5p per concessionary passenger journey? Even if this is the case, the amount of journeys made over a year at 7.5p will probably come to over £50k anyway! Also ‘Ed’, isnt there a danger of this ‘deal’ becomming a monopoly situation as far as Island Line is concerned?… Read more »

Chris, i’m still waiting for you to expand on this ‘legal action’ which you say that SV was considering to take against the council and now this ‘deal’ appears to have ‘resolved’ this. That would suggest that SV had an advantage somehow by holding a ‘gun’ against the council’s head. I for one as a tax payer and a voter would be very interested to know what… Read more »

In a reply to Leigh Day Solicitors dated 28th March 2011 Under the heading “TRANSPORT”, Davina Fiore’s so called legal department stated quote ” The Island is predominantly rural, is served by an Island bus service.

SV only have competition on one route, Ryde to Shanlin via Island Line. It’s easy to see that it was in their agreement with Tory Boy Pugh to make Island line less viable and hopefully force it’s demise and remove the final competition.

We need an alternative provider. Did TB Pugh consider this in his ‘negotiations’ with CV? Certainly not!

Giles, in his statement, says: “…both parties (Island Line and the Council) were however unable to strike a deal to continue providing the discretionary travel for over 60s.” But wait a minute. Five days earlier, in the much-trumpeted “innovative partnership” between the Council and Southern Vectis, we were told that SV had agreed to extend Route 2 from Sandown through to Ryde. Why would SV make such… Read more »

Perhaps then, Island Line should be looking up the number for the monopolies commision? It appears to me (as mentioned in earler posts) that SV have something over the council that we don’t know about and are using it to their advantage. Legal action has been mentioned more than once by one individual and if this is the case, surely the electorate should know about it.

According to Island Line website, Islander card is available (cost £5) and gives 40% discount (after 10 am) Senior Raicard (cost £26, valid throughout country) gives discount (after 9.30 am)
Am trying to decide which card to get. Can any one advise?

Hi Janet – I should think it would depend if you travel by rail on ‘North Island’ if you use the railway quite a bit then that would be the best option. I currently have a Senior Rail Card so hopefully they will accept that after the 1st May.

I think you will find that as Island line is part of the rail network, all railcards will continue to be accepted.

Does anyone know whether Island Line is still a community railway? I believe the DfT designated it so back in 2006. If it is, does anyone know where I can find it’s route prospectus? I would like to compare it to the IWC requirements to help SW Trains manage the railway to meet the local circumstances. What with over 50% of Islanders being retired, it would appear… Read more »

What almost everyone seems to have forgotten is that when the Labour Government introduced the English National Concessionary Bus Pass scheme, the stated objective was to enable those aged 60 and over (rising to 65/66 in years to come) to enjoy free local BUS travel within set timed guidelines. If a local authority wished to offer extended timings and other transport ‘add ons’ for local residents, then… Read more »

Gets the dates right at least. The community rail scheme pre-dates the bus concessionary fares by two years. As for the previous gov offering incentives, discount & the like, I’ll think you’ll find that the (albeit)complicated arrangements served several purposes. Such as compliance with multinational targets to reduce carbon emissions, preserve essential infrastructure that might not be otherwise financially viable, target support for industry & users that… Read more »

The way things are going, I wouldn’t be surprised to see these Tory councillors come up with some crazy idea that could bring about the closure of the Island Line in the future, similar to the Wight Bus.
