Subterranea Britannica: SB-Sites: Havenstreet Station (949 words)
Initial restoration took place at Newport Station but in 1970 the local council acquired the station for a new bypass for the town and the Society were required to remove their rolling stock at short notice.
Following the formation of the Isle of Wight Steam Railway in 1971 these were then moved to Havenstreet in January of that year.
Gradually a five mile section of track between Smallbrook Junction and Wootton was purchased and restored with a new station being built at Wootton (on the opposite side of the road); this opened in 1987.
