Newbridge railway station (Welsh: Trecelyn) is on the Ebbw Valley Railway and serves the towns of Newbridge and Blackwood in south east Wales.
The station opened on 6 February 2008 when services between Cardiff Central and Ebbw Vale Parkway railway station commenced. Future plans include an hourly service to Newport.
The station is on the site of the former station and coal yard in the town centre opposite the Co-op food store and existing council car park. The single-platform station and car park is off a signalised junction on Bridge Street.
An hourly service operates in both directions on weekdays and Saturdays with a two-hourly Sunday service.
In February 2009 Caerphilly County Borough Council started construction on a footbridge to link the station with the Comprehensive School, Leisure Centre and the town centre.
