As far as I can see, this has to be a stub as there are no references. From WikiProject Trains' Quality scale - Start Class:

...should satisfy fundamental content policies such as notability and BLP, and provide enough sources to establish verifiability.

Anyone from WikiProject Trains care to suggest why this qualifies as Start-class? Even better, shall we work together to add some references so it actually is? --Peeky44 (talk) 00:17, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming?

I have checked three books I have on the IoW Railway network that cover the Ventnor stations and none refer to this station being renamed Ventnor Town from 1923 to 1953, so I have added citation needed tags to this. This also affects the page Ventnor Town railway station which is really a disambiguation page, though not labelled as such. If there is no citation for provided after a suitable time What would this be?) this I think that the reference should be removed from this page and Ventnor Town railway station should be made a redirect to Ventnor West railway station JDLeonard — Preceding undated comment added 20:52, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tunnel?

So what happened to the tunnel? Was it filled in? One entrance was near this station site. It basically is a dead-end into the hillside now. Where was the opposite end? --208.65.188.23 (talk) 03:37, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The tunnel has been repurposed, and is used by the Water board as it carries a water pipe down one side and a sewage trough on the other. Aquizard 23:04, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
