We start with the arrival of the MV Brading at Ryde's Pier Head. Passengers then transfer to the train waiting at the pier’s station. Setting off, we run past Ryde Esplanade and into open country. Stopping at Brading, we pause to look at a variety of railway features. Then we're off again, running past meadows with the Downs in the distance. At Wroxall, a few passengers board the train, before we soon pass through a tunnel which opens out at Ventnor Station - our journey’s end.
