Where is the best place, price and safety, to park for the Ryde ferry. How much to go up the spinnaker tower, oo er. How long and how often do the trains leave from Ryde to Brading and return in the evening.
Thanks.

I was also hoping for personal experiences, nothing like a personal experience. wink

As for those train time tables why dont they just throw up a list of times like the olden days frown

I'm off up the tower though, cheers.

Do not get me started on trains today. Bloody car park at the station full so had to park at Southampton Airport and subsequently missed my train. Not happy.

My mate planned to go up the tower when his parents came down for the day - it happened to be the only day that year that it was closed. smile

Alegedly it's going to be a nice clear day tomorrow and the view from the top is meant to be 35 miles ? And, they have a glass floor on one level eek

Never been up the Spinnaker tower but the trains are so anal with their timetables.You can miss the boat because the two companys dont,or wont come to any sort of agreement.
What would you want to go to Brading for?

I've got an evening football match to attend. Need to be there by 7- ish and away by final whistle which is around 9.40 - ish. Quick train from Brading back to Ryde for the ferry.
