Transport
As well as the Island Line Railway, Sandown is served by regular buses run by Southern Vectis on routes 2, 3 and 8. Destinations which can be directly reached include Bembridge, Newport, Ryde, Shanklin and Ventnor. Night buses are run on Fridays and Saturdays, along route 3. In the summer, Southern Vectis also run an open top bus route called the "Sandown Bay Tour", serving the main tourist areas of the town and Shanklin. Local bus services previously run by Wightbus have now been re-absorbed by Southern Vectis. Sandown is on the Isle of Wight Coastal Path, between Niton and Ryde.
Southern Vectis also used to run a road train during the holiday & tourist season. As of 2010 the Sandown road train has been cancelled.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
