It’s so good to see the Island Line running down Ryde Pier again! 🚅 The railway structure of the pier was built between 1878 and 1880 by Victorian engineers. After nearly 150 years of harsh environmental conditions, which caused parts of the structure to deteriorate, it has needed major refurbishment and repairs. Now the Island Line is full reopen and running from Ryde Pier head, just seconds from our FastCat Port, all the way to Shanklin. ⛴ 📷 - Thanks to @Photography Rue for the footage. #Wig
