Yarmouth railway station, was an intermediate [2] station of the Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway, incorporated in 1860 [3], opened over a ten month period between 1889 and 1889 and closed 65 years later [4]. Situated on the outskirts of the town [5] (but handily placed for transfer to the ferry to Lymington[6]) it was one of the more economically viable stations[7] on a generally unprofitable line. Until the 1920s there was a lengthy passing loop and second (staggered) platform [8]. The station is now a Youth Club [9] and still very recognisable as a FYNR station[10].
