Sandown station, the one-time junction for the lines to Ryde and to Newport and Cowes, was opened in 1864 though the original station building was extended between 1870 and 1871 through the addition of a two-storey extension to act as station offices. Between 1st January and 20th March 1967 the station was closed whilst the line was adapted for electric trains, then closed again for much of 2021 whilst the electificaion was upgraded.
