    I am thinking about a visit in September

    You used to be able to get a ticket that covered the Ferry, Island line & the IoWSR

    Does it still exist as an internet search doesnt bring anything up - there is one via the Hovercraft but not the Portsmouth Harbour ferry

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    The Portsmouth Harbour fast cat now has e ticket only barriers. I think all the combo tickets have been removed (except through rail tickets).
    I think they have plans to reintroduce them in the future.

    From Facebook:
    Service Update
    We are acutely aware that the Fire Service is currently committed to a significant fire in the West Wight requiring all their resources within the Island and significant mainland resources deployed to the Island with more required.
    We have therefore taken the decision to stop steam operation to ensure any risk of lineside fires that could require fire service attendance is removed.
    When both trains arrive back at Havenstreet Station we will reduce to a one train service using diesel traction on a limited and potentially disrupted timetable.
    Please accept our apologies for any resulting disruption.
