Isle of Wight
BS thinks this is an Isle
of Wight metro. Do you think they're wight?
It seems that this is not
a subway, but the 8.5 mile electric line does use
unwanted London tube cars due to the narrow tunnels and bridges. And
though there are no stations in tunnel, I understand the above tunnel runs
through town and is pretty good sized.
There is currently a proposal
called Wight Rail, which includes the above rail stretch.
Is
the Isle of Wight on the Wight Track? (from LRTA web site, May 1998)
Another plan
calls for extending the line under the sea into Portsmouth, where
it would integrate with Portsmouths light rail system under
construction.
