Shanklin railway station is a railway station serving Shanklin on the Isle of Wight. It is the present terminus of the Island Line from Ryde, although the line used to continue to Wroxall and Ventnor.

Rail services
All rail services are operated by Island Line Trains. There are two departures an hour to Ryde Pier Head which connect with Wightlink Ferries which take passengers to Portsmouth Harbour Station.
Bus routes
The following buses run from Shanklin Station or nearby. All services, unless noted, are run exclusively by Southern Vectis.
A train station, railway station, railroad station, or depot (see below) is a railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight.
It generally consists of at least one track-side platform and a station building (depot) providing such ancillary services as ticket sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a single-track line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements. The smallest stations are most often referred to as "stops" or, in some parts of the world, as "halts" (flag stops).
Stations may be at ground level, underground, or elevated. Connections may be available to intersecting rail lines or other transport modes such as buses, trams or other rapid transit systems.
Terminology
In the United States, the most common term in contemporary usage is train station. Railway station and railroad station are less frequent; also, American usage makes a distinction between the terms railroad and railway.
In Britain and other Commonwealth countries, traditional usage favours railway station or simply station, even though train station, which is often perceived as an Americanism, is now about as common as railway station in writing; railroad station is not used, railroad being obsolete there. In British usage, the word station is commonly understood to mean a railway station unless otherwise qualified.
Shanklin is a popular seaside resort and civil parish on the Isle of Wight, England, located on Sandown Bay. Shanklin is the southernmost of three settlements which occupy the bay, and is close to Lake and Sandown. The sandy beach, its Old Village and a wooded ravine, Shanklin Chine, are its main attractions. The esplanade along the beach is occupied by hotels and restaurants for the most part, and is one of the most tourist-oriented parts of the town. The other is the Old Village, at the top of Shanklin Chine.
Together with Sandown, Shanklin forms a built up area of 21,374 inhabitants (2011).
Shopping
The main shopping centre consists of two roads, Regent Street and High Street, which together comprise the largest retail area in the south of the Isle of Wight; significant for tourists but also as an amenity for residents.
Near Regent Street are the town's two main supermarkets, the Co-op and Lidl. In Regent Street itself are many local shops, including two arts and crafts shops, several clothing and sports shops, three newsagents and three bakeries. The High Street also has some local shops, but is dominated by tourist shops and restaurants.
Shanklin Chine, a wooded coastal ravine containing waterfalls, trees and lush vegetation, with footpaths and walkways allowing paid access for visitors, and a heritage centre explaining its history.
Shanklin Estate, council housing estate in Sutton, South London, sited between Brighton Road and the Epsom Downs Branch
Shanklin Family, American family involved in politics and government
Shanklin Glacier, a glacier in the Hughes Range of Antarctica, flowing southeast from Mount Waterman to enter Muck Glacier at a point 8 km (5 mi) west of Ramsey Glacier
Shanklin Railway Station - Saturday 27th June 2020
A brief look at Shanklin railway station on the Isle of Wight on the afternoon of Saturday 27th June 2020.
The train seen in this video is known as the class 483. These electric multiple units were originally built as 1938 tube stock units for the London Underground. They were extensively refurbished between 1989 and 1992 by Eastleigh Works for use on services on the Isle of Wight's Island Line. These trains are due to be replaced over the next 12 months from the time of making this video so thought I would pay a visit to see these units in action before they retire.

Walking through the town where you live And I dream of another day Daylight failing over the railings Past your window As another dream in the railway station You're too late You're gonna have to wait all day now 'Cause no one else will help you Follow me to the seaside It's fine for a daydream They just let you down They just let you down Summer's gone incompletely You're no one, you can disappear If you don't try now If you don't try again On a sunny day I think It gets hard to remember They won't let you down They won't let you down They won't let you down Seen something you've done Far in a distance You're waiting and watching And don't think it's helping They won't let you down They won't let you down
