Shide railway station was at Shide, on the southern fringes of Newport, Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England. It was an intermediate station[1] on the line from Newport to Sandown, which was initially operated by the Isle of Wight (Newport Junction) Railway (incorporated 1868).[2]

History

Shide station opened in 1875 and closed, along with the line itself, in 1956.[3] Situated near Shide Chalk Pits,[4] it was a sparsely used station whose main purpose was to transport raw materials needed for the Island’s cement industry.[5] It was doomed when production ceased during the Second World War.[6] The station site was built over[7] and is now occupied by a warehouse, and the River Medina has since been diverted to flow along the course of the old railway at this point. The old track to the south of the station site is now a cycle route (NCN23).
