Yarmouth railway station, was an intermediate [2] station of the Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway.
It was incorporated in 1860, [3] opened over a ten-month period between 1888 and 1889 and closed 65 years later. [4] Situated on the outskirts of the town [5] [6]) it was one of the more economically viable stations [7] on a generally unprofitable line. Until the 1920s there was a lengthy passing loop and second (staggered) platform. [8] The former station building was for a period used as a Youth Club, [9] and is now (as of 2022) a restaurant. It is still very recognisable as a FYNR station. [10]
