A Ride to Ryde - Isle of Wight Railway - Train Simulator 2016
Take a train ride to Ryde. Sorry, couldn't resist the pun! We take our first trip to the quaint island railway of the Isle of Wight, as we take a Class 483 commuter service from Shanklin to Ryde. Check out the series playlist here:
The train I'm driving is actually one of the longest served trains in the UK. Manufactured in 1938 and still going today, these trains have been kicking about for over 75 years!
Initially in use with the London Underground before taking over service on the Isle of Wight, the rolling stock was given the designation of Class 483 to comply with TOPS.

Island Line Train - Ryde Pierhead - 1938 Tube Stock - Isle Of Wight - March 2019 | kittikoko
Island Line Train Cam - Ryde Pier Head To Shanklin - May 2018 | kittikoko
The Island Line is a railway line on the Isle of Wight, running 8 1⁄2 miles (13.7 km) from Ryde Pier Head to Shanklin on the Island's east coast. The line was electrified (630 V DC third rail) in 1967.[1][2] Trains connect with passenger ferries to Portsmouth Harbour at Ryde Pier Head, and these ferries in turn connect with the rest of the National Rail network. The line also connects to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, a steam-operated heritage railway at Smallbrook Junction. For much of its length the line runs alongside the A3055, criss-crossing this road by means of the Ryde Tunnel and bridges at Rowborough, Morton Common, Lake Hill and Littlestairs.
Island Line franchise (1996–2007)
Following the privatisation of British Rail, the rights to run services on the line were put out to tender as a franchise. Uniquely on the National Rail network, the franchise agreement also required the successful bidder to maintain the railway line in addition to the stations and trains. Stagecoach Group were announced as the winner of the franchise and from October 1996 they operated passenger services under the name Island Line Trains.
In 2002 a form of Automatic Train Protection was installed on the line. This involved the refitting of tripcocks on trains and the associated train stop trackside equipment at signals. This system is almost identical to the one originally fitted to the trains when in service on the London Underground, although it is in use only at signals protecting single-track sections of the route.[8]
The Department for Transport designated the line as a community railway in March 2006, under reforms to help boost use of rural and branch lines in the UK rail network.[9]
South West Trains franchise (2007 - 2017)
From February 2007 the Island Line franchise was merged with the South West Trains franchise on the mainland. Stagecoach was announced as the winner of the expanded franchise and operated Island Line as a South West Trains subsidiary, but with the branding retained.[10] However, the Island Line name has been retained, styled as Island Line Trains, promoted as a separate division on the South West Trains website.
Island Line Trains have also repainted stations in a heritage scheme of cream and green, as part of a general station improvement package.[11]
South Western Railway franchise (since 2017)
In August 2017, the franchise was taken over by South Western Railway who have maintained the brand name.
Due to the isolated and rural nature of the Isle of Wight's railways, rolling stock has tended to be made up from displaced older vehicles, rebuilt or modified as required. Following the work undertaken during the line's closure during the winter of 1966–67, the ceiling of Ryde Tunnel is 10 inches too low for standard National Rail vehicle types to clear.[5]
Since the reopening of the line in 1967, former London Underground Tube stock has been used. The initial trains were formed of so-called Standard Stock, made up into four and three-coach sets (with one spare vehicle, normally kept at Ryde depot), designated 4-VEC and 3-TIS in the British Rail Southern Region electric multiple unit classification system. (The classification letters were a pun on the Roman name for the island, Vectis, also reflected in the name of the island's nationalised bus company, Southern Vectis, which was once partially railway-owned.[18]) Under the British Railways TOPS rolling stock classification system (introduced in 1968 for locomotives and later extended to multiple unit vehicles), these units eventually became Class 485 and Class 486. The cars transferred to the island were built at various dates between 1923 and 1934, and thus maintained a somewhat unwelcome tradition of providing the island's railways with among the oldest rolling stock running anywhere on the British railway system. By 1992[19] these units had been replaced by newly refurbished London Underground 1938 Stock, designated Class 483 by British Rail. The stock is maintained at Ryde St John's Road depot.
Inside A Hovertravel Hovercraft - A Bumpy Ride From Ryde To Southsea - June 2018 | kittikoko
Hovertravel is a ferry company operating from Southsea, Portsmouth to Ryde, Isle of Wight, UK. It is the only passenger hovercraft company currently operating in Britain since Hoverspeed stopped using its craft in favour of catamarans. Hovertravel is now the world's oldest hovercraft operator, and this service is believed to be unique in western Europe. The service commenced operations in 1965 and currently operates two hovercraft on a single route between Ryde and Southsea, although it formerly operated also between Ryde and Gosport, and Cowes and Southampton.
The service operates between Southsea Common on the English mainland and Ryde Transport Interchange on the Isle of Wight: the crossing time of less than 10 minutes makes it the fastest route across The Solent from land to land.

British Rail Network SouthEast-Isle of Wight 'Ryde Rail' 1988
One for both Underground enthusiast's as well as BR! A sunny day in May 1988 sees us on a trip abroad, well to the Isle of Wight anyway! Here we see NSE at it's best, Ryde Rail. Refurb trains and stations, a new station and a good service, wonderfull days! And semaphore signalling to boot! Note the unit in the first shot is a Control Trailer, a driving cab but no motor equipment on this car. This had only recently been refurbed for service as the Standard Stock was on its last legs by this time and cars were failing all over and units were being reformed regularly. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
