To anyone on the Isle of Wight at the moment. Alum Bay is currently inaccessible to coaches due to the Broadway in
To anyone on the Isle of Wight at the moment. Alum Bay is currently inaccessible to coaches due to the Broadway in Totland being closed for resurfacing. Apparently it's going to be closed until at least Tuesday of next week.

You can go in and out via the thatched church

not worth the risk mate because if there's another coach coming the other way, your both stuffed. I took mine to Yarmouth instead.h0westion wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:34 pmthere has been a thing put in place so you can return that way too just gotta hope nothing coming through was there yesterday that’s what the open top driver told us to do and staff at needles tooNee_Anarchy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:33 pmyou can get to Album Bay that way but you can't return through there

seriously not worth it mate. The big problem is coming back. Normally Alum Bay Old Road is one way for coaches as it's almost impossible for 2 to pass in opposite directions. I was meant to be there yesterday but went straight to Yarmouth instead.sterebann.182 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:35 pmgoing that way in little while no choice Yarmouth nextNee_Anarchy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:34 pmnot worth the risk mate because if there's another coach coming the other way, your both stuffed.

Really? When was the last time you went through there in a coach? Imagine the high probability of 2 coaches meeting each other with Alum Bay Old Road being the only route available? Not worth the risk in my opinion.ParPauhell wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:41 pm Utter tosh! Just use the old road carefully plenty of places to pass.

I was an islander for twenty odd years and drove cars, buses, trucks, coaches and caravans down there. You really need to get out more and see some real difficult roads. You make the Isle of Wight sound so difficult when it’s so easy. LaughableNee_Anarchy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:41 pmReally? When was the last time you went through there in a coach?

Re: To anyone on the Isle of Wight at the moment. Alum Bay is currently inaccessible to coaches due to the Broadway in
so you will know it's one way for coaches then and the reason why? You reckon it's worth the risk driving the wrong way along Alum Bay Old Road?ParPauhell wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:42 pmI was an islander for twenty odd years and drove cars, buses, trucks, coaches and caravans down there.

that's just old advice by the council as per what was printed in a coach driver's booklet that they gave out at the Tourist Information Centres.ParPauhell wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:42 pmand you can only drive round clockwise?Nee_Anarchy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 7:42 pmso you will know it's one way for coaches then and the reason why?
