Southern Vectis

With just two months left of our Summer Service, we ask you kindly to consider two things.

We’ve made changes to our services to ensure those who rely on the bus for school can get there on time.

NEW DATE CONFIRMED - Time to celebrate! The Old Girl turns 80

Following a postponement of this event in July, the Old Girl's Birthday celebrations will take place Tuesday 17th September.

Route 27 to Tapnell Farm returns

Take a trip to Tapnell Farm this summer aboard Route 27, running daily from 20th July between Newport and Yarmouth via Tapnell.
