Medina Wharf Halt railway station

Medina Wharf Railway Station was a private halt between Cowes and Newport on the Isle of Wight that provided a way for workers at the nearby wharf to get to work before the road was laid. No shelter for its few passengers was ever provided^[2] and it never appeared on a public timetable.^[3] Additionally a non-passenger-carrying coal train transported coal from the siding via the halt to Ryde.^[4] After the Southern Railway took over from the IWCR the whole complex was extensively rebuilt.
