March 10, 200620 yr How's the best/cheapest way to travel from Heathrow/Stanstead to Portsmouth or Southampton?
March 10, 200620 yr Trains to Southampton and Portsmouth leave from Waterloo station. (best) I believe you can get a coach from Victoria Coach station. (cheapest)
March 10, 200620 yr Further travel info for Isle of Wight (when you get there) is here http://www.upmystreet.com/see/snapshot/?vid=1780
March 10, 200620 yr Heathrow get the underground to Victoria direct on the Piccadilly line then from there direct train to Portsmouth Harbour. From there you can get either the FastCat from the same area, the hovercraft from the seafront or the car ferry from behind my house! I am your man if you are coming to Portsmouth! :D
March 11, 200620 yr the fast ferries from portsmouth go to ryde and from there you can take a bus number 1 from stand A, or was it B? to newport (but beware of the traffic cuz i think it`s gonna be massive on the festival weekend). Ā ferries from southampton go to east cows and from there i don`t know what bus to take cuz i forgot. but it`s better to go to portsmouth and then to ryde i think.

They might do special buses to the festival - on that I am not sure.Ā Here is the Southern Vectis website for people that will need to travel by bus:Ā http://www.svoc.co.uk/timet.html

March 12, 200620 yr aah yeah 5' date=' i think it`s a double decker cuz number 1 isn`t.[/quote']Ā It has been a while since I travelled on a bus round the Island. I had a ickling that it was 5, but thought I would check through the Southern Vectis website first!! :smiley:
March 13, 200620 yr I moved to the Island when I was 3 and stayed there for 17 years!!! :lol:Ā you win! where abouts did you live? i`ve never been to the west side of the island but east side i know pretty well.
March 13, 200620 yr you win! where abouts did you live? i`ve never been to the west side of the island but east side i know pretty well.Ā I lived in East Cowes for 5 years and then moved to Wootton where I stayed for 12 years. Next moved to the mainland as it had better job prospects - somewhere called Southampton. :smiley:
March 16, 200620 yr i`ve been to east cowes twice. once on my way to southampton and then in august when you`ve got this some sort of festival over there. Ā my boyfriend studied in southampton :laugh3:
