Newport South Wales train station has been serving the city of Newport since it first opened in 1850, and is Wales’ second busiest train station, after Cardiff Central.
The station first opened in the mid-19th century, around the time that British railways were rapidly expanding, and has seen expansions on a few occasions during its lifetime. Following some alterations in 1880, the first prominent expansion was in 1928. In 2010, a new station building was built with four full-size platforms to facilitate a greater number of more prominent services.
The station originally consisted of only two through platforms and one bay platform, but Newport High Street station (as it was known at the time) was greatly expanded in 1880 to accommodate the influx of passengers following the closure of Dock Street and Mill Street stations. With further expansions to rail services running through Newport over the next century, by 1912 there were four functional passenger platforms at the station.
Originally known as Newport High Street station, the suffix was dropped after it became redundant following the closure of nearby stations – as there was no longer any need to differentiate. Being the only station in Newport, the full name of the station is now Newport South Wales only to distinguish it from Newport in Essex, for the sake of national travel enquiries.
Running from Newport South Wales station, there is a wide range of trains to and from all around the UK. Trains are operated by Great Western Railway, Transport for Wales, and CrossCountry. Popular routes on CrossCountry include Cardiff to Newport South Wales, Bristol to Newport South Wales, Derby to Newport South Wales, Stoke-on-Trent to Newport South Wales, and St Erth to Newport South Wales.
At Newport South Wales train station, facilities include toilets and accessible toilets, refreshment and shopping facilities, baby changing facilities, pay phones, CCTV, bicycle parking, and a car park open 24/7.
Things to do in Newport
Newport is a diverse city, and there are countless exciting and relaxing ways to spend a day, weekend, or even longer there. Whether it’s a riverside stroll, a fascinating walk through a heritage house, shopping and dining in the city centre, or a glimpse at the famous Newport Transporter Bridge – whatever interests you, you can find it in Newport.
The Newport Transporter Bridge is one of eight surviving bridges of its kind in the world and casts a dramatic silhouette on the Newport skyline. In 1096, the Morgan family constructed the bridge designed to carry cargo across the River Usk on a gondola that hangs from the main beam. You can still go across the bridge for a unique experience in Newport, or just watching it is an opportunity to marvel at engineering.
If you’re a sucker for a beautiful historic house, you will love visiting Tredegar House. Situated just outside of the main city, around 35 minutes from the train station by bus, Tredegar House is a 17th-century home and gardens, home to locally powerful and influential families for over 500 years. This National Trust house has a fascinating history, from pirates and army heroes to local Lordships and stunning gardens. With so much to learn, Tredegar House is a wonderful day out.
One of the most adored aspects of Newport city is the River Usk running through it, with shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, and hotels along the riverfront. With unique local cafes and shops, as well as all of your high street favourites, you can easily lose track of time exploring the streets and riverside of Newport.
