The Island Line, the Isle of Wight's railway, has been operated since 1989 by refurbished former London Underground trains, built originally in 1938. However, they have now operated their last service. The final Class 483 train rolled out of Ryde Pier Head Station at 23:17 on Sunday 3 January, closing a historic chapter for Island.
