  The bus stop at Thornton Cross, Ryde, Isle of Wight, in April 2011. At the time it was served by Southern Vectis buses on route 8 and Wightbus buses on route 20. Due to local government cuts, route 20 was axed from 16 April 2011 without replacement, so no longer serves this stop.

  A notice at the old post office in Bonchurch Village Road, Bonchurch, Isle of Wight notifying passengers about the new times of the route 31 bus, run by Wightbus. It also warns about the risk of losing the service as it has had fewer passengers since a timetable change, which meant fewer services. As numerous cuts are being made by the Isle of Wight Council, unused bus routes are at risk. The council has made the decision anyway to axe all Wightbus operations from 2 September 2011.

  The closure notice on the door of the public toilets on the Esplanade, East Cowes, Isle of Wight on 1 April 2011, the day the toilets closed. Initially the toilets on Osborne Road were planned to close, however it was later decided that as Osborne Road was closer to the town centre, with higher usage, the toilets on the Esplanade should be closed instead. This, along with other closures across the island was a move to save money as part of funding cuts to local authorities by central government.

  Roadworks in Newport Road, Ventnor, Isle of Wight in March 2011, for the road to be resurfaced. The roadworks were initially scheduled to end on 26 March, however were extended until April. Problems were caused as the closure caused Upper Ventnor to be completely blocked off from lower Ventnor, with the diversion running through Shanklin, making a very short journey incredibly long. Bus services had to run via Whitwell, as seen here, with additional shuttle services running to Wroxall, and no service for Upper Ventnor.
