A temporary Isle of Wight bus timetable for Southern Vectis' route three is in operation from today (Sunday, February 18).
Due to the closure of Leeson Road in Bonchurch, following a landslide in December, passengers are advised to take note of changes to route three - between Newport and Ryde via Ventnor.
A public meeting will be held later this month to discuss the findings of an independent investigation into the December 2023 landslide and the feasibility of Leeson Road reopening.

Journeys between Ventnor and Ryde will see an adjustment of up to five minutes, while journeys between Shanklin and Newport via Ryde will also operate up to five minutes later to accommodate the altered route.
