View towards buffer-stops at the main Ventnor station, which was built in a confined space above the town just outside the tunnel under St Boniface Down. It was the terminus of the ex-Isle of Wight Railway from Ryde, closed from Shanklin 18/4/66. No. W32 'Bonchurch' is an ex-LSW Adams class O2 0-4-4T, built as No. 226 11/1892, renumbered and named on transfer to the Isle of Wight 5/28, withdrawn 10/64; it is running round its train before returning to Ryde Pier Head.
