Ryde St John's Road
Clear skies over the Isle of Wight yet again. O2 No W27 'Merstone' heads towards Ryde Esplanade from Ryde St John's, top and tailing with sister loco W24 'Calbourne' on 21 September 1966. The locos are Victorian, the rolling stock is pre-grouping, and they shortly be replaced by London Underground Tube stock dating from the 1920s! Happily, W24 is still with us as the only survivor of the O2s.
