There are cancellations on Isle of Wight ferry firm Wightlink's Lymington to Yarmouth service from tomorrow (Sunday).

The company is blaming 'the absence of an essential crew member'.

As a result, the 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm sailings from Lymington are all off.

Meanwhile, the 3.05pm, 5.05pm, 7.05pm and 9.05pm from Yarmouth are also cancelled.

Wightlink said all affected customers have been contacted and moved to alternative sailings.

A spokesperson said: "We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this action will cause but we have been unable to source short notice cover for the absent members of staff and so have taken this action as a last resort."
