Island Line's new trains have started their Isle of Wight service today (Monday).
Following a number of setbacks, South Western Railway's (SWR) £26 million project has finally reached its final destination on the Island.
The new upgraded trains have better interiors to plug sockets, free WiFi and wheelchair spaces.
A replacement bus service has been in place since January, when the old trains were retired.
The new service will start hourly.
Here it is arriving at Ryde Pier Head this morning (video by Ben Rue):
