Have walked this route many times with my dog, from Perowne Way in Sandown along the old railway track through Alverstone, Newchurch, Merstone, Blackwater, and Shide into the Car park at Matalan in Newport one of my favourite walks even in middle of winter, great video enjoyed seeing what it was like when in use

Smashing. ... What a convenience and attraction this could be, if still in existence, for both Islanders and tourists alike.
Thank you for this excellent piece of Island steam history
