'Points Failure' Suspends Island Line Services

A points failure has suspended all Island Line train services this afternoon (Thursday).

South Western Railway says all lines between Ryde Pier Head and Shanklin are blocked.

It is expecting disruption until 3pm today.

A spokesperson for SWR said:

"We have been informed that there is a problem with a set of points between Ryde Pier Head and Shanklin. This means that the Island Line has been suspended."

Island Line staff are arranging replacement transport for passengers. 

It's the second time the service has been suspended since its long-awaited relaunch.

A fire next to the track led to its part suspension last month (November).
