Bembridge was the terminus [1] of the 2¾ mile 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]. 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].
