*************

Wootton railway station is a heritage railway station on the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of the England. It opened in 1875,^[1] and was an intermediate stop on (successively) the Ryde and Newport Railway, Isle of Wight Central Railway, Southern Railway and British Railways. It closed on 21 September 1953.^[2] The line was re-opened as an extension to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway in 1971. A new station on a different site to the original was opened in 1987.^[3]

The Railway received a grant from the LEADER project in November 2011 for a rebuild of Wootton station, which involved extending the platform, extending the headshunt to accommodate the Ivatt tank locomotives, build a replica of the original wooden station building that was at Havenstreet, install new toilets and construct the base for the signal box, which will be relocated to the platform.
