Met Een Prachtige Stoomtrein Over Het Zonnigste Eiland Van Engeland I Rail Away 🚞

🚂 In this episode of Rail Away, we visit one of England's most beloved holiday islands: the Isle of Wight. Just a short crossing from the English south coast, time sometimes seems to have stood still here. Our journey begins at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, where carefully restored Victorian-era locomotives and carriages still operate daily. Volunteers here keep a unique piece of British railway history alive. We travel by historic steam train along a former railway line that was once part of a much larger network serving the entire island. Along the way, we discover how the railways played a key role in the development of tourism on the island. We visit stations accessible only by train and see how traditional railway techniques are still in use. In addition, we get acquainted with the rich history of the Isle of Wight. We visit Osborne House, Queen Victoria's beloved summer residence, and discover why this particular island held such a special place within the British royal family. We also travel on the Island Line, the only regular railway line remaining on the island. This route passes beaches, seaside resorts, and impressive coastal landscapes that have made Isle of Wight a popular holiday destination for generations. From historic steam locomotives and Victorian royal history to spectacular coastlines and a unique microclimate: this episode shows why Isle of Wight is one of the most special islands in Great Britain.
