Southern Vectis have made changes to some of their routes as they move into the summer timetable.
Coming into action from Sunday 26th May, make sure you review any updated timetables before planning your journey.
Nightbus 1 (N1)
The last journey on Friday and Saturday nights runs 5 minutes later at 0340, so you can make a connection from N9 from Ryde.
Route 2 & 3
Journey times have changed on all days of the week to allow for summer traffic and the ongoing diversion between Shanklin and Ventnor on Route 3.
Most route 2 journeys will now run 5 minutes later between Newport and Ryde – please check your times carefully.
Route 5
Thanks to our partnership with IW Council and the Bus Service Improvement Plan, the frequency increases to every 15 minutes Monday to Saturday daytimes.
There are changes to evening journeys on all days to improve reliability.
Route 7
An additional bus runs from Alum Bay at 2205 on Thursdays during August to enable you to return from the Fireworks event.

Route 9
New early morning journey from Ryde to Newport at 0525 (via Staplers) on Mondays to Saturdays.
