yarmouth

(17.4.1986)

This was the approach to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. This was the first and so far only time I've used the Lymington-Yarmouth ferry. Can't remember much about this day!

The trip to Ryde from Portsmouth is far more to my taste with trains waiting to meet you at Ryde Pier Head, usually with a triup down to Brading or Shanklin on the train. Yiou can now also change at Smallbrook for a steam train ride into the heart of the island. There are no such public transport delights at Yarmouth, perhaps just a bus which I detest. Yarmouth did once have a railway station which took you to Freshwater or Newport. No doubt this line will be rebuilt in the future and I'll have a reason to visit Yarmouth again!
