Lake railway station is a station on the Isle of Wight serving the village of Lake. Until the construction of an interchange station with the Isle of Wight Steam Railway at Smallbrook Junction in 1994, this station was the newest on the island having opened in 1987. The trains that serve this station are ex- London underground stock pre- dating the 1930s. These were considered as "new" stock but with the new Southwestern franchise coming up these trains are due to be replaced with newer trains, probably built by Alstom.
