The final railway on the island to be constructed ran from Merstone to Ventnor West. It reached St Lawrence on 20th July 1897 and Ventnor in 1900 on a rock shelf through the undercliff. Without question the most scenic section of any Island railway but was sadly the most short- lived.
The line operated for little more than 50 years to close on 15th September 1952
