Another great, well researched video. It was a tragedy that so much of the IOW rail network was closed. Yarmouth station and signalbox are so well preserved. I can't wait for the next part.

Another great video. Well researched and very well presented. This line passed through the lesser well known parts of the Island and as you say was very rural in parts. Keep up your good work.

After your earlier attempt you had quite a good day to make this video! There always is a certain romanticism about the course of a disused railway - what was and might have been, and the ephermal nature of love. You'll have happy memories of making these videos when you are old and grey! Thanks for uploading.

Hello. Yes it is and we do love walking them, there is something very tomantic about the way nature always reclaims forgotten industry we think. Thank you for your comment and all the best 🙂

Sad parts of the track have disappeared under farmland. It would have made a good cycle path to Newport.

@WightWanderer 11 ай бұрын

It is unfortuante, perhaps if it shut a bit later on more of it would have been saved. Thank you for watching 🙂

Someone should have a word with Bembridge ive seen claims that it's the biggest village in England, that comes a bit unstuck when you consider freshwater makes it not even the biggest village on the isle of wight (pop ~3500 v pop ~7500)

You are quite right: the road overbridge at the east end of Ningwood station was removed years ago (but I can't remember exactly when)

Hello Polly. Absolutely that would be super and thank you for the kind words 🙂

They've done such an amazing job with Off the Rails it's hard for me to tell where the original station building ended and the extension begins. Thanks for another interesting video, I always wondered where the line went after Yarmouth

@WightWanderer 11 ай бұрын

Absolutely, certainly one of the best preserved stations we've ever visited. Thank you very much for the kind words 🙂
