Type: | National Rail (Island Line) |
Station code: | RYR |
Opened: | 1864 |
Ryde St. Johns Road has 3 platforms but typically only 2 are in use with the main building on Platform 1. Platforms 2 and 3 are on an island platform with just a few shelters. Access between the platforms is via a footbridge. The Island Line's depot is next to the station as is the only remaining signalbox on the line [1]. It is possible the Isle of Wight Steam Railway could extend their services from Smallbrook Junction to Ryde St Johns Road though there are no firm plans at the moment.
