Ventnor railway station
Ventnor railway station was the terminus of the Isle of Wight Railway line from Ryde. The station lay on a ledge 294 feet above sea level which had to be quarried into the hill side. The station was immediately outside a 1,312 yards long tunnel through St. Boniface Down. A lack of space meant that a turntable was used to allow steam engines to runaround their trains. In later years this was replaced by a three way switch.
Ventnor West railway station
Ventnor West railway station was opened on 1 June 1900 as the final addition to the railway network on the Isle of Wight. It was originally opened as Ventnor Town but the station was renamed in 1923 by the Southern Railway.
