Wightlink will be running a single boat service on its Ryde to Portsmouth FastCat route for the rest of today (Saturday). The withdrawal of the vessel has come after a mechanical issue was discovered with Wight Ryder 2 at around 09:00. As a result, sailings due to depart Ryde at quarter past the hour (xx:15) and those departing Portsmouth at quarter to the hour (xx:45) have been cancelled.
All other island travel services appear to be running to schedule, as of 10.00 this morning, and there are no further reported problems with either our roads or traffic.
