**Engineering Work affecting trains between Ryde Pier Head – Ryde St Johns Road**
Saturday 30th & Sunday 31st October 2010
Essential track renewal work is taking place at Ryde Esplanade station on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st October 2010. Trains will not run between Ryde Pier Head, Ryde Esplanade and Ryde St Johns Road during this weekend.
Replacement bus – but not up Pier
Buses will replace trains between Ryde St Johns Road and Ryde Esplanade ONLY.
Due to the current vehicles restrictions in place on Ryde Pier we are UNABLE to provide ANY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT BETWEEN RYDE ESPLANADE AND RYDE PIER HEAD during the work.
Passengers will need to use the temporary walkway provided by Wightlink along Ryde Pier to access catamaran services.
No cycles, prams or bulky luggage on the Bus
Journey times will be extended and connections cannot be guaranteed, we regret that cycles, prams and items of bulky luggage cannot be conveyed on rail replacement buses. Buses will depart from Ryde Esplanade bus station and Ryde St Johns Road station forecourt.
A normal rail service will operate between Ryde St Johns Road and Shanklin.
Island Line Trains apologise for the disruption caused during this work.
