Could anyone help identify why the canopy columns on the island platform at Ryde St John’s Road on the Isle of Wight are marked SVSR - all I think is that it stands for Shanklin, Ventnor, Sandown, Ryde. Or is there another explanation? #islandline #isleofwight #ryde

Today I’m adventuring up and down the #IslandLine on the Isle of Wight.
It’s weird to think at one time these trains were full running under the streets of London. Now they are enjoying a restful time on the island.
