Allan and Ron seem to like islands – last time it was Man and this time it’s Wight.  We’ll spend a few days wandering around the island, starting with boats and a few trains.

Travelled by train to Lymington for ferry to Yarmouth and then across island by bus to Ryde for our hotel.

Lymington.  The most interesting way to get to the island?

Yarmouth….

Ryde…

Hotel room view at Ryde and the other way to get to the island….

Some trains.  Lucky to see one as the service is so bad at the moment, and the whole line will be shutting down for a while for essential work.  Shame, as these new renovated underground trains look very smart and should have been ideal for the line.

Finally, how the transport network on the island looks now….

And how it was (and I wish it still was.)
