Rebuild the railway from the towns of shanklin to ventnor on the isle of wight
Rebuild the short railway line that was closed in the 1960s under the beaching cuts.
This would help with the nightmare situation of the roads into the town that are at risk of being completly destroyed by landslides. It would also help bring life back to the town as it would give it a direct link to the mainland ferrys at ryde.
