Shanklin Station, August 1974

Submitted by David Wilkinson

Name	Shanklin Station, August 1974
Distance	0.11 miles from PO37 7JE
Description	Even though the line beyond to Ventnor had closed in 1966, terminating trains still travelled beyond the end of the down platform and came back to collect passengers from the up platform as late as 1974. Here we see a train of 1924-vintage ex-Northern Line stock approaching the down platform on the wet Thursday before the August Bank Holiday weekend of 1974.
