Southern Vectis To Continue Island Christmas Day Bus Services

Passengers will still find it easy to travel across the Isle of Wight this Christmas Day — thanks to special services from Southern Vectis.

The operator has announced its festive timetable, which is designed to help get local people and visitors into town for celebrations.

Southern Vectis general manager, Richard Tyldsley, said:

“We want to encourage people to leave their cars at home and enjoy Christmas and New Year with friends and family.

“On Christmas Day, routes 1,3,5,7 and 9 will be in service — running to a special timetable. 

“All fares will remain the same over the festive period, allowing our customers to put their pennies towards those extra special presents."

Southern Vectis is introducing a number changes to its regular services throughout the festive period, from Christmas Day to Monday January 3, and the full timetable is available to view online at islandbuses.co.uk
