I remember riding the line from Newport to Cowes and Ryde as a child, and seeing the rescued stock after it was gathered at Havestreet in 1971. Its wonderful to see the line restored to such a high standard with so much of its original rolling stock.
Been up and down this line loads of times, either by train, or with Friday gang in Wickham or Lala and have never been aware of a few of the highlights of this run.
Thank you for this post , our beautiful Island .
