Route no 12 has a long history in the West Wight. It was one of Southern Vectis's original route numberings, introduced in June 1933, when it ran from Alum Bay to Newport via Chessell and Brighstone. Later, for many years, prior to re-modelling of routes in 1985, it was the principal service to Newport, running via Yarmouth and Shalfleet and thence to Sandown via Shanklin. The route via Brighstone was numbered 29 in that period, running via Chessell, with a seasonal variant 28 via Compton. Latterly no. 28 via Compton became the primary year-round route.

  • Route no 12 has a long history in the West Wight. It was one of Southern Vectis's original route numberings, introduced in June 1933, when it ran from Alum Bay to Newport via Chessell and Brighstone. Later, for many years, prior to re-modelling of routes in 1985, it was the principal service to Newport, running via Yarmouth and Shalfleet and thence to Sandown via Shanklin. The route via Brighstone was numbered 29 in that period, running via Chessell, with a seasonal variant 28 via Compton. Latterly no. 28 via Compton became the primary year-round route. From 1985 route 7 became the main West Wight route, with the Freshwater via Brighstone route numbered variously, but most often as route 7B. However, between 1996 and 2001 it was numbered route 12, and this numbering has been revived through the changes of autumn 2010. In 2001 the 7B numbering was resumed. In 2006 the suffix letter was dropped, and destination boards only signalled the variation in route. On 5 September 2010, the route number 12 was revived in the West Wight area, with the southern branch of route 7 being axed and replaced by a broadly 2 hourly service numbered 12 along the same route. It is considered likely that at least some of the section along the Military Road may have to be re-routed at some point due to coastal erosion. There are suggestions that when the road is fully breached a new bypass may be built further inland, but it is not certain this would happen. In the absence of such a new road, it is likely Service 12 would revert to its 1933 route via Chessell.
