The Island Line train service offers a wonderful way to explore the east and south of the Isle of Wight, running between Ryde Pierhead (which is the oldest seaside pier in England) and Shanklin. With stops at Ryde, Brading, Sandown, Lake and Shanklin, this line connects the Island's beautiful coastal towns, making it a fantastic option for both locals and visitors looking to discover the Isle of Wight's charm.
The Island Line is operated by South Western Railway, so any discounts that apply to their network are also valid on the Island Line. Whether you’re using a railcard or taking advantage of group travel discounts, you can save money while exploring the Isle of Wight by train. Visit South Western Railway to purchase tickets and plan your journey.
Island Line trains link seamlessly with bus services at Ryde and Shanklin, while short walks connect you to additional bus routes in Brading, Lake, and Sandown.
For a truly unique experience, the Island Line also connects with the Isle of Wight Steam Railway at Smallbrook Junction, allowing travelers from London Waterloo to journey through railway history as they make their way to the Island.
UPDATE: Engineering works are currently taking place on Ryde Pier:
