Ryde St John's Road

Ryde loco shed on 21 September 1966, sporting three O2s, each 75 years old! From left to right, W27 'Merstone', W31 'Chale', andW33 'Bembridge' are still active, but their days are numbered, as electrification is due by the end of the year, and they will be replaced by elderly Tube stock (the Isle of Wight goes in for antiques).
