…Long hot Summer days, a sea voyage, and a vintage steam train waiting at the Pier Head to carry you to your destination…. such would be the memories that made the Isle of Wight and its little railways so popular. The loss of so much of the system in the 1950’s and 1960’s has only added to the continuing interest of today’s collectors.EXCLUSIVE TO EBAY … This original Isle of Wight ticket is listed ONLY on EBAYBRITISH TRANSPORT COMMISSIONRyde Esplanade – Ryde St Johns RoadIsle of WightFare 2d 2nd Class Single Srl.No. 5494 Date: 29 May 1957Back in 1957 the axe had only just fallen on the Newport – Sandown line, leaving just the Ryde – Cowes and Ryde – Ventnor routes to survive intact for a further 9 years.
Railway tunnels are great fun, especially behind a vintage steam locomotive, and Ryde tunnel is/was no exception. A toot from the driver and we were away from Ryde Esplanade station, a plunge down the steep incline, another toot to the children watching from the railings above, and into the blackness of the tunnel under the Esplanade. Sharp right curve, under Dover Street and Monkton Street and out into the (hopefully) Summer sunshine. Even better with the window open!
You can still do the journey today – but it’s really not the same in a tube train.
