Get there on the brand new route 33 or route 9 to Wootton Station and pick up the Steam Train there.

Step back in time at The Isle of Wight Bus Museum. They have a collection of classic Southern Vectis buses and memorabilia as well as a cafe and retail area. Get there on routes 2, 3 or 8
A trip on The Needles Breezer is a great way to see the West Wight and feel the breeze in your hair from the open top deck. Leaving from Yarmouth across the day. Its your route to The Needles Landmark Attraction and National Trust Battery.
