A Gateway to the Isle of Wight since its inception in 1880. The railway operated integrated transport system at Ryde Pier has stood the test of time. Here on 2nd August 1962. The Former Southern Railway Paddle Steamer Sandown has arrived from Portsmouth with a boatload of happy holidaymakers. The 2 trains headed by an ex LSWR Class 02 0-4-4Ts No. 22 Brading and No. 27 Merstone are about to set off to their final island destinations of Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor and Cowes.
