Portsmouth & Southsea - Shanklin return

[Gathursty]

I was issued with an OUT and a RTN coupon at Wigan with the presumption by staff that this would be sufficient when I get down to the terminal. Is this correct?

 

[Birdbrain]

Yes just show to the ferry staff

Thanks and will do. May take sea legs just in case the big waves make it to The Solent on Sunday.

Just for clarification...the FastCat terminal is at Portsmouth Harbour, whereas (I believe) only Hovercraft tickets are issued to P&S (then shuttlebus to terminal)

I'm taking the Catamaran from Portsmouth Harbour. Just bought the cheapest ticket as taking the car would be £70+

All tickets to Shanklin are routed via Portsmouth harbour and the Wightlink Fastcat service to Ryde Pier.
The through tickets on the Hovercraft are specifically to Ryde Hoverport. The hoverport is over a footbridge from Ryde Esplanade Station and the bus station.
If travelling by Hovercraft there is a connecting bus the Hoverbus which goes from Portsmouth and Southsea station to the Hoverport and returns via the hard bus station which is next to Portsmouth harbour station to Portsmouth and Southsea station.

On the fast cat you just use the rail tickets, on the hovercraft you go to the ticket desk at the hoverport and they make a reservation for you on the next flight and ask if you want a return reservation.
