Island Line Trains
Although the Isle of Wight’s train transport network is quite limited, it does offer a very convenient way of travelling between Ryde Pier Head and Shanklin, calling at Brading, Sandown and Lake. The trains are old London underground tube trains, which still offer a reliable service.
The Island Line service even connects with the Isle of Wight Steam Railway at Smallbrook Junction.

Isle of Wight Steam Railway
Connected to the Island Line train service via Smallbrook Junction, the Isle of Wight Steam Railway runs a short 5-mile service from Havenstreet station to Ashey. The vintage trains are traditional steam engines that offer a special journey back in time and a wonderful family day out.
