IWBRUG: Extend seasonal service to October
Stuart George, from Isle of Wight Bus and Rail Users’ Group, told OnTheWight,
“We’re pleased that, as usual, there aren’t any major reductions for the winter but we’d like to have seen the seasonal services extended to include October, rather than finishing at the end of September as we believe there’s considerable demand for these services in October.”
