Bus route 9: Newport to Wootton, Binstead and Ryde, and the campsites on it

How often it runs

The first buses leave Newport at 05:00 Monday to Saturday and 05:40 on Sundays. Daytime buses run every 10 minutes, then every 15 minutes in the evening, with regular buses until around midnight. Extra N9 night buses run on Friday and Saturday nights, adult fares only, and they call at the Wightlink terminal at Fishbourne.
