Due to a signalling problem between Ryde Pier Head and Shanklin all lines are blocked. Train services running to and from these stations have been suspended.
Disruption is expected until 18:00.
What We're Doing About It:
We have been informed that there is a track circuit failure between Ryde Pier Head and Shanklin. This means that the Island Line is currently suspended. For further information or onward travel advice please speak to a member of staff or use a station help point.
Further Information:
A track circuit is one system used by signallers to identify where trains are on the tracks. When these fail, trains have to stop at each affected signal and verify that the track beyond the signal is clear. Once they have authority from the signaller to continue, they must do so at caution until they have traversed that signalling section. This process takes up to 10 minutes per affected signal.
