Red Funnel Extends Red Jet Timetable And Reinstates Quayconnect Bus

Red Jet

Red Funnel's Red Jet timetable will expand and the Quayconnect bus will be reinstated - in line with the easing of lockdown.

The Red Jet service will return to all-day coverage, offering customers 12 departures from each side of the Solent, Monday to Friday and 11 departures on weekends.

From West Cowes, sailings will depart every 80 minutes between 06:15 and 20:55 Monday to Friday, and between 07:35 and 20:55 on weekends.

From Southampton, sailings will depart every 80 minutes between 05:35 and 20:15 Monday to Friday, and between 06:55 and 20:15 on weekends.

Red Funnel's Quayconnect bus service will be reinstated -  which offers transport from its Southampton Red Jet terminal at Town Quay, taking passengers into the city with stops including West Quay Shopping Centre and Southampton Central Train Station.

The Quayconnect will remain available to all Red Jet passengers as normal and will be free of any additional charge.

Bus times will align with Red Jet departures/arrivals times and offer full coverage with the exception of picking up passengers departing West Cowes at 19:35 and 20:55 or dropping off passengers departing Southampton at 05:35 or 20:15.

Fran Collins, CEO of Red Funnel, commented:

“We are absolutely delighted to share this positive news with passengers and to see the Red Jet service back to a more frequent schedule in line with the easing of government restrictions. Whilst we’re starting with a one-boat service, we will be closely monitoring customer demand and will adapt our operations and timetables accordingly, to ensure we continue to support our customers in line with the latest government guidance and safety advice."

By law, face coverings continue to be mandatory for all travellers, except in specific cases of exemption as outlined by the government.
