    • 1947 May and June, K. Westcott Jones, “The Freshwater, Yarmouth & Newport Railway”, in Railway Magazine, pages 145–146:
      Other proposals were for an extension of the railway to Totland Bay, where the company had already acquired an hotel; and for a line from Freshwater to Brightstone [sic: Brighstone] and Ventnor, to serve the sparsely-populated south-western coast of the island, known as the Back of the Wight.
