Details are correct at time of update, but may be subject to alteration .

Because of tight clearances within a tunnel at Ryde, standard National Rail vehicle types cannot operate on the Island Line, and the line instead uses refurbished ex-London Underground tube trains originally built in 1938.

Island Line is reportedly Britain's most reliable and punctual train company. The shortness and simplicity of the route may be the reason for this.
