Whippingham railway station
Whippingham railway station was arguably the most underused station on an often sparsely used network. Built solely because of the need to have a station within close proximity to Osborne House, the only royal ever spotted actually using the station was a young Lord Mountbatten. In its early days its passenger carrying status was ambiguous and, although always clean and tidy, never very busy.

Medina Wharf Halt railway station
Medina Wharf Railway Station was a private halt between Cowes and Newport on the Isle of Wight that provided a way for workers at the nearby wharf to get to work before the road was laid. No shelter for its few passengers was ever provided and it never appeared on a public timetable. The trackway is now part of NCN route 23. Additionally, a non passenger carrying coal train transported coal from the siding via the halt to Ryde.

Turner, who painted a picture of the location.
