WEEKEND WOES FOR WIGHTLINK – LENGTHY CROSS-SOLENT DELAYS THIS SATURDAY

Wightlink is advising of disruption on its Yarmouth-Lymington car ferry service and its Ryde-Portsmouth Fastcat service today (Saturday) – with delays of up to 90 minutes.

A hydraulic issue on board one of the Wight-class ferries has led to significant delays of an hour-and-a-half on the operator’s West Wight route.

A separate mechanical issue on one of the Wight Ryders, operating the Ryde Pier Head-Portsmouth Harbour route, has led to cancellations on the Fastcat service.

Wightlink says it’s working hard to reduce delays, and apologises for the disruption.
