Itʼs not so much the ferry, an efficient high capacity affair, as the pier that is the attraction here.
Or to be more specific still, the pier railway.
Built in 1922 (making it the worldʼs oldest pier train) this "Heath Robinson" contraption rattles its way up and down the pier
on weekdays transporting people to and from the ferries.
If nothing else it must represent one of the easiest ways of tearing yourself away from the New Forest and back to the big city; Southampton in this case.
