Victoria Street Station is a single platform station on the Vemb-Lemvig-Thyborøn Railway in Vejlby. Its original name was Vejlby Stoppested. Previously, passengers who wanted to ride the train had to turn the signal themselves, a vertical pole with a plate at the top, to make the train stop. The train driver then made sure to turn the signal back before the train moved on.

This station, approximately 1 km north of Vejlby, in a popular summer tourist spot, was originally open during the summer period to cater for the bathing tourists who from Vejlby Nord had to travel approximately 500m to the sea along a gravel road.

The name Victoria Street Station was assigned by some citizens, allegedly at a time when the Lemvigbanen took too long to refit a nameplate at the platform. The name refers to a nearby Viktoriavej and was formally recognized by the railway company in 1991.
