Staff illness forces halt to Isle of Wight rail services
Rail replacement buses will be in operation
The Isle of Wight's railway line has been closed because of staff sickness.
South Western Railway said Island Line would not be operating on Wednesday between 9am and 7pm.
A spokesperson said a rail replacement bus service will be provided during these hours between Ryde Esplanade and Shanklin and a separate minibus shuttle will run between Ryde Pierhead and Ryde Esplanade.
There will also be a minibus serving the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
The company apologised to customers for the inconvenience caused.
