We pay premium rates and deserve a proper service all the time

Disgusting behaviour. Cutting to an hourly service may not seem like much but I have to take taxis to meet an earlier boat at the cost of 12 a day. Transport links won't line up otherwise and have commitments in the evening.

Disgusting it's not cheap and to get there to find you have to wait is just not acceptable not a way to run a businnes

It's hard enough to get off the island without the monopoly service provider cutting services

I work at QA hospital. I cannot alter the times meaning if I cannot get on a boat due to passenger numbers and gates closing early to make up time, I miss the boat I aim for putting me on the hour later one due to the cancelled services. This increase my commute to 5hours a day. On top of an 8hour shift 5 days a week. Making me more likely to make a mistake, putting people at risk.

Corporate greed, no reason to not provide relief boats during winter and the company that do it aren't that busy in winter!

The service to and from the Isle of Wight is truly shocking and it’s time it was sorted out.

I agree - don’t blame the staff!! The customer facing staff are (on the whole) nothing but fantastic. This is about the company approach and how the company treats their customers!

Wightlink is supposed to be a service. Don't blame the staff we see, it's those we don't see that make the decisions to cut without any comprehension of the impact it has on our lives. They are driven by profit alone and never the needs of the Island.

Need to bring back the 4.45 & the temp boats when servicing the cats, this is meant to be a service & not a money making machine run by investment companies

I agree with Wightlink not being able to reduce their service when it suits them. When one boat is off in the past they paid for a charter boat at key busy tones.

A petition will not work as MP, Council and SLEP are too aligned with ferry companies, it needs something drastic so that there is threat of competition, so please support this and contribute to viability study. https://solentfreedomtunnel.co.uk/the-sft-viability-study-by-arup/?fbclid=IwAR20zW2Bikx2ynZH6gaupW-_3yF4mJU600NBAP6NrZ7UaeJcxMSClL0eCcE

Wightlink should not be allowed to reduce their services and should provide all paying customers with a replacement service.
