Fishbourne IOW

[37 418]

Hi folks,

Is it still possible to get rail/ferry combined ticket to Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight?

If so, can someone tell me where the ferry is issued from (and the Code/NLC) on the ticket as I cant see Gunwharf Ferry Port anywhere in any station/destinations lists. I'm assuming PCF Portsmouth Cont. Ferry Port is for destinations to France etc?

Thanks

I can't find it in brfares.com. Through tickets the other way (via Ryde) are just normal train tickets to the relevant Island Line station.

SWT say they offer it on their website (by calling them), I was more curious as to how they issue the Ferry Part of the ticket. I know Fishbourne has an NLC (0881) but cant find anything for the Portsmouth end.

I would have thought rail/ferry combined tickets would normally be via Portsmouth Harbour/Ryde Pier Head as the Portsmouth Gunwharf and Fishbourne terminals are for car ferry traffic and are not rail connected, indeed foot passengers would have to walk about 10-15 minutes from Portsmouth Harbour to the Gunwharf ferry terminal and some distance to/from the nearest bus stops on the Ryde-Newport Road at Wootton.

There are various options:

Portsmouth Harbour - Ryde Pier Head
Portsmouth & Southsea - Southsea Hoverport - Ryde Hoverport
Lymington - Yarmouth
Southampton - Cowes East/West
Portsmouth - Fishbourne

All are supposedly available as through tickets

I think I may have cracked this - the NLC I found for Fishbourne may just be to do with former Sealing services!

Does anyone have any ticketing info on Sealing destinations i.e. CRS codes/NLCs Ports etc?

Just curious

There aren't any fares to Fishbourne. Options from Portsmouth are either Portsmouth Harbour - Ryde Pier Head or Southsea Hoverport - Ryde Hoverport (with a shuttle bus from Portsmouth & Southsea to Southsea Hoverport)

Interesting the SWT offer it then. Has there *ever* been fares to/from Fishbourne?

Would it be the case then that the NLC was used for Sealink purposes?
