Thank You Lottery Players!

Isle of Wight Steam Railway staff and volunteers say #thankstoyou National Lottery players. Train Story, our interactive discovery centre at Havenstreet, was built thanks to funding from the National Lottery #heritagefunduk back in 2014.
The National Lottery Heritage Fund also helped with the construction of our Carriage & Wagon workshop and the restoration of numerous historic wagons.
We have begun to plan for the future, ensuring that our collection of historic locomotives and carriages, plus all our other wonderful artefacts which tell the story of the railways on the Island, are cared for and appreciated by a wider audience. Here’s to the future!
