History
Route 25 is a route started by Southern Vectis run from the Newport via The Folly Inn to East Cowes also serving Hefford Road for the elderly residents. It was originally operated with ex-Wilts & Dorset Optare Solos, although from September 2012, Southern Vectis introduced the new fleet of Optare Solo SR single-deckers, in the new Vectis Blue livery, which were used on route 25, among others, between their school duties.

The route took over the old Route 29 which was operated by Wightbus, the only difference was that they cut out Ryde on the route and only went from Newport to East Cowes.

From 8th April 2013, the route was merged with Community Bus Route 34, which had its original route of Wooton, Binstead and Havenstreet extended to include Whippingham and East Cowes.
