Bembridge was the terminus[1] of the 2+3⁄4-mile (4+1⁄2 km) branch line that connected it to the main line at Brading.[2] On holiday Saturdays the sector table revolved continuously because the station area was too small to contain points.[2]
History
Opened in 1882, when the area contained the Island's main port,[3] it ran with ever-dwindling passengers until 1953.[4] The station is long since demolished[5] and a new development (Harbour Strand) in place.[6]
