Shanklin train line

Island Line train service continues to be suspended

As reported on Friday afternoon, the Island Line train service was suspended after a landslip occurred near Sandown.

Following the assessment at the weekend by engineers, Island Line confirm this morning that they can’t run due to the landslide.

The following arrangements apply today.

  • A replacement coach service service will operate leaving Shanklin at 38 minutes past the hour and Ryde Esplanade at 50 minutes past the hour.
  • A shuttle taxi service is replacing trains between Ryde Esplanade and Ryde Pier Head as trains are not able to run along the pier due to storm damage.

In additional valid rail tickets will also be accepted on Southern Vectis bus routes 2 and 3 between Shanklin and Ryde and return.

We’ll let you have an update once any further news comes in.
