Solent Transport User Group - For Isle of Wight Ferry Users

Important Survey
Autumn 2026

If you use any of the ferry companies to cross the Solent, then please take this survey. It will be used in Cross Solent Transport Group meetings going forward.

We Demand Better

Community Led

The Solent Transport User Group is Community Interest Company. We are an independent organisation advocating for improved cross-Solent ferry services.

The Beginning

We came together in response to Wightlink’s failure to reinstate a full and reliable foot passenger service following the lockdown. We established a Facebook group to gauge public interest which has grown to more than a thousand members in just 2 months.

Join Us

We promise to work with the ferry companies and others on your behalf to get us all a better deal for this absolutely essential service link to the mainland.

We are marooned without it!”

Solent Transport User Group’s Purpose

The company’s main purpose is to improve transport across the Solent, especially for people on the Isle of Wight and people with special needs (patients, students, disabled people).
It plans to do this by engagement, negotiation, sharing information, and raising awareness
