Island Heritage Train Day

Island Heritage Train Day

Our popular Heritage Days return for 2022. Running usually on the second Sunday of the month between April and October, these feature one of our historic Isle of Wight locomotives, hauling a selection of different trains.

Explore Train Story Discovery Centre during your visit and delve into the history of our Victorian and Edwardian railway vehicles, and the lasting impact on all our lives.

Our April event features either W24 Calbourne or 'Terrier' W11 Newport hauling passenger services on the line.

In addition Drewry Railcar No 2 (Ryde Pier Tram) will also be in action. The railcar has a capacity of 20 passengers, but unfortunately cannot carry wheelchairs or bicycles. All seats are unreserved - we'll operate a queuing system at Havenstreet for passengers wanting to travel.
