The new Island Line trains have been spotted arriving on the Isle of Wight this afternoon (Thursday).

As previously reported, a video emegerd of a train on the tracks in June. It was carrying out a 'gauge' run, which checks the train's compatibility with the network. 

The Island's train line is currently undergoing a multi-million-pound overhaul, which was announced by the Government two years ago.

A bus replacement service is in place while work is carried out.

It was expected the service would recommence at the end of March, but the project has since suffered two setbacks.

No firm date of when the trains will go 'live' has been revealed.
