Demand Southern Vectis increase capacity on route 1

Increase capacity on Southern Vectis route 1 services from Newport to Cowes.

Why is this important?

The single deck buses are not big enough and at busier times small children, elderly people and those with mobility issues are forced to stand in cramped conditions with very little to hold on to.
This often means that drivers are forced to leave passengers behind as there is no space on board.
Also during these periods standing passengers have to get off of the bus in order to allow those sitting at the rear of the bus to alight at their chosen stop. It gets especially bad at the hospital and college stops during peak times.
