Ningwood railway station, was an intermediate station of the
Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway, incorporated in 1860 , opened over a ten month period between 1889 and 1889 and closed 65 years later . A typical rural station that rapidly lost passengers once buses reached West Wight , it was one of the less economically viable stations on this unprofitable line. Despite the addition of a 400 feet (121.9 m) long passing loop and water tank in 1927 , the station was in latter years a somewhat lonely outpost. The station house, situated on the "down" side, is now a private residence and the modest passenger shelter on the "up" their garden shed.
