Shanklin is the end of the line for trains on Island Line, but the railway once carried on another 5 x miles or so to Ventnor.

A Class 484 alongside a withdrawn Class 483 at Ryde St Johns clearly shows how much bigger they are! Class 483 were originally built for the "Deep" level "Tube" in London and came across to the Isle of Wight in 1989. The Class 484 worked originally on the Sub Surface "Underground" in London and arrived on the Island in 2021 to take over! The 484 is much bigger in height!
