Ningwood railway station, was an intermediate ^[1] station of the Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway, incorporated in 1860,^[2] opened over a ten-month period between 1889 and 1889 and closed 65 years later.^[3] A typical rural station ^[4] that rapidly lost passengers once buses reached West Wight,^[5] it was one of the less economically viable stations^[6] on this unprofitable line. Despite the addition of a 400-foot (120 m) long passing loop and water tank in 1927,^[7] the station was in latter years a somewhat lonely outpost. The station house, situated on the "down" side, is now a private residence ^[8] and the modest passenger shelter on the "up" side their garden shed.
