The timetable for an Isle of Wight train service has been cut back this morning due to a train crew member being taken ill.

Island Line services, between Shanklin and Ryde Esplanade, will run hourly in both ways, rather than half-hourly in both ways, this morning (Friday October 25).

Disruption is expected to end at 11am.

The reduced timetable comes after a crew member was taken ill.

Tickets for the Island Line will be accepted at no extra cost, on Southern Vectis routes 2 and 3 between Shanklin and Ryde Esplanade.

The service reopened on Monday October 7 after being closed in its entirety since Friday September 6.

South Western Railway said: "For further information or onward travel advice please speak to a member of staff or use a station help point.

"We are very sorry for any delay that this may cause to your journey."
