The problem with the steam railway is that it goes from nowhere, to nowhere. All of the stations along the glorious route arent exactly on the tourist route, which effectively means that you have to be interested in steam trains to make the journey to it. What was only explained to us, after we bought the tickets, was that the... more

I was so disappointed in this outing and it wouldn't be at the top of my list to return on my next visit to the Isle of Wight. I really wanted to enjoy the experience and get into the spirit of things but nothing captivated my imagination and my children (who are Thomas mad) wanted to go home after their... more

I found that the trains were vintage throughout (not modern-ish carriages hauled by an old locomotive) - everything seemed to match and be beautifully preserved. The trains deserved to be, and were, busy and the staff were helpful and... more

I went to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway on Monday and just wanted to say how great it was. I've been to the Island on holiday from Southampton and the railway was by far the best place I visited. It was a real step back in time. The trains were amazing and beautifully kept, as was the whole place.... more

I visited the Isle of Wight Steam Railway with my husband and two daughters and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The trains are beautifully kept and in pristine condition. It was great fun to take a ride back in time and have the opportunity to savour the wonderful countryside as we travelled through it. The Museum was also very interesting... more
