Carisbrooke Station[1] was a railway station situated near the village of Carisbrooke,[2] just outside Newport, Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England. It was an intermediate[3] station on the Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway. It originally had 2 platforms but one platform was abandoned in 1927. 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 is no longer clearly discernible within a school playing field amongst modern development.[9]
