Hovercraft is going nowhere - as services are delayed

Going nowhere! The hovercraft has been battling the high winds to get across the Solent between Southsea and Ryde this afternoon (August 30).

The wind has caused disruption and delays to services which were already busy as a result of Victorious weekend and a breakdown on the Wightlink FastCat.
