Should add that Smallbrook Junction is only open when IOW Steam Railway is open. 1715450721 Am having a few issues on internet at moment. Is this trip going to be a day trip or spread over a few days?

Think the only way is to get a single ticket on the cat and then a single ticket on the hovercraft, Do you have any railcards/ blue badge / are over 60? Which may have a bearing on the ticket price.

Service 149 operated by Portsmouth City Coaches who had recently taken over Emsworth & District Buses. This was a commuter service around Hayling Island to the Hayling Ferry. It started in October 2018 for a 6 month trial period but was cancelled before the end of the trial period. Limited...

The timetable and route stayed the same. It is a circular route that starts of at the Hovercraft Terminal at Southsea makes its way to Portsmouth Harbour Station then upto Portsmouth & Southsea Station and then back to the Hovercraft Terminal. I understand that HoverTravel will be keeping an...

And don’t forget Warblington between Havant & Emsworth. When l used to work l caught a train at 0729. To make sure l was the right side of the barriers l had to be at the station by 0715 as on some days of the week there was a stone train to Chichester . I did not know of RTT trains then so had...

And a signalling failure at Hilsea.

On the Southern Vectis ticket site there is a paragraph that says “Through Tickets Through fares are available to any point across the Island, but must be used within 3 hours of purchase.” That could possibly mean you could get from Ryde to Alum Bay for the cost of 1 x £2 ticket excluding...

As far as l know the fares on the Needles/Yarmouth Breezer are not capped at £2 a journey. The only ticket that l have been able to find is the Breezer Ticket which gives unlimited travel for 24 hours. It is cheaper by 50p to buy the Breezer Ticket on the app, which does of course give travel...

Brighton - Paignton service reversed at Portsmouth & Southsea rather than going straight across Farlington Junction.

There should be plenty of automated announcements on board as well as the scrolling information screen giving the forthcoming station stops and of which portion of the train to be in after the split.

The Souther Vectis Routes 2 & 3, take the long way round from Ryde, Brading , Sandown, Shanklin to Newport. Because of a landslip before Christmas the 3 has to take a different route between Shanklin & Ventnor and has to double back on itself. The Southern Vectis app l find helpful but also...

There is an Island Line Day Ranger ticket costs £6.70, no railcard discount. Gives a days unlimited travel on the train between Ryde Pierhead and Shanklin. Don’t confuse it with Island Line Day Rover which includes IOW Steam Railway. Costs £23 and should only be issued when the steam railway is...

The now Stagecoach 27, from Emsworth to Rowlands Castle. There is the rail and A27 low bridges a few metres apart, just by Emsworth Station. Until recently the route was operated by First and before that Emsworth & District.

You can use the ENCTS pass on TFL buses in London. A common problem with non London passes is that they are not recognised by the ticket machine and the bus driver just waves or nods you on.If the TFL inspectors board the bus and do a ticket check then they seem to be well aware that the pass...

Been quite a few years since l enjoyed a dining experience on a Pathfinder Tour and it was enjoyable. The cooked breakfast was very nicely presented although it was served about 90 minutes after boarding at about 6am. Tea & Coffee was served immediately after departure. A light early lunch...
