From the ferry terminal it’s a taxi or a 20 minute walk to Portsmouth & Southsea, then about 1h 15m by train to Salisbury. Our shared shuttle goes from the terminal to Salisbury station in about 1 hour, from £24.25 each. It’s not for Wightlink from the Isle of Wight, which arrives at a different terminal. Dropped at the drop off point near the main entrance of Salisbury train station. Start one from £69.25, or join one already going for less. If nobody joins, you choose 24 hours before: the whole vehicle for £136.75, or a full refund. No drop off charge for you.

The train to Salisbury is direct, but first you need to get from the ferry terminal to Portsmouth & Southsea station, over a mile away. A shared shuttle takes you from the terminal to Salisbury station, and the more people share it, the less you each pay.
Bus, coach, train or shuttle?
The train runs direct from Portsmouth & Southsea, about hourly, but the station is about 1.1 miles from the ferry terminal, and no coach to Salisbury is confirmed on an official timetable.
Our shared shuttle, an 8 seater minibus, runs from the terminal straight to Salisbury station in about 1h.
