Carisbrooke Station[1] was an intermediate [2] station on the Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway ,situated near the village of Carisbrooke [3] just outside Newport. It was a busy station for the nearby castle until the advent of the bus routes[4], but little used thereafter[5]. Closed in 1953[6] its goods yard was by then derelict and overgrown[7](its only recent use having been by prisoners during World War II [8]). The station has long been demolished and the site barely discernible within a school playing field[9].
