The London Transport Traction Group have been informed that, pending final approval, they have secured one of the former Northern Line stock - now an Island Line train - for preservation
Isle of Wight commuters who catch the first catamaran over to the mainland to take the train to London each day say proposed timetable changes by South Western Railway mean they would be late for work.
As Chris Garnett and Nick Finney know each other from years gone by, questions have been raised. The leader of the council describe these as a "desire to make mischief to unclear ends".
A new pressure group has been set up to help secure the future of the Island Line train service with a sustainable, reliable and viable service for the duration of the next franchise period.
Official Island Line income figures don't add up - but the public are being asked to comment on the future of the line - this despite DfT saying it's a problem.
