Newport FYN railway station, was, for ten years, the alternative terminus of the Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway. The new station, opened on 1 July 1913 after a conflict between the FYN and the Isle of Wight Central Railway, closed 10 years later on the creation of the Southern, when Freshwater trains reverted to using Newport's main station. During its inauspicious existence passengers had a short inconvenient walk between the two rival termini.
