Down to nowhere
483 009
The remaining section of the Island Line services are worked by class 483's, providing a bizarre sight on it's approach to Ryde Pier Head. Ryde Esplanade station can be seen in the background. The 483's are practically antiques in railway terms, being originally built as 1938 tube stock for London Underground. They were brought to the Isle of Wight in 1989-1992 after refurbishment by BR Eastleigh. Here, 009 , with 007 at the rear, are seen on 7th April 2012.
