There is a reduced timetable on Red Funnel's Red Jet service today (Saturday, June 8), the Isle of Wight ferry firm has confirmed.

'Limited crew numbers' are being blamed.

A total of 28 sailings will run on the day — 14 from Southampton and 14 from Cowes.

On a typical Saturday, the service usually provides 48 crossings on the route — 24 each way.

The revised timetable will be as followed:

  • From Southampton: 06:40 / 07:50 / 09:00 / 10:20 / 11:30 / 12:40 / 13:50 / 15:00 / 16:10 / 17:20 / 18:30 / 19:40 / 21:05 / 22:30

  • From Cowes: 07:15 / 08:25 / 09:35 / 10:55 / 12:05 / 13:15 / 14:25 / 15:35 / 16:45 / 17:55 / 19:05 / 20:15 / 21:40 / 23:05

A spokesperson for Red Funnel said: "We apologise for any disruption to your journey."
