Island Line Class 483 (ex-London Underground 1938 Stock) EMUs at Ryde St John's Road depot on the Isle of Wight. From left to right are 483007, 483002 and 483004.

483009 has been repainted into an almost exact recreation of its original London Transport livery, the only exception being the mandatory yellow warning pannel that must be carried on all trains on the main line. In complete contrast is the unique livery carried by the rest of the Island Line fleet - a yellow and blue base with vinyls of dinosaurs on the sides. This livery reflects the jurassic heritage of the island, its status as a family holiday resort and the age of the trains - at nearly 70 years old they are by far the oldest trains running in regular mainline service.
