Looking south from the northern end of Brading station on the Isle of Wight.<br>
Only one platform is now used, although the footbridge to the former island platform on the right looks to be in good repair. Until the 1950s Brading was the junction of the Ryde-Ventnor Town (now closed south of Shanklin) line with the completely closed branch line to Bembridge.<br>
The restored station building on the open platform is home to a small exhibition about the station and railways on the island in general. There is a local group hoping to refurbish the buildings on the other platform and the signal box (the roof of which is just visible behind the building on the island platform).
