Newport railway station is the third-busiest railway station in Wales (after Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street). The station was originally opened in 1850 by the South Wales Railway Company and was greatly expanded in 1928. In Newport, Gwent.
Originally named Newport High Street, the suffix High Street became unnecessary on the closure of Mill Street and Dock Street stations to goods traffic in the 1960s. Printed tickets and National Rail enquiries use the suffix "South Wales" to differentiate this station from its namesake in Essex. Newport Unlimited have suggested the station is officially renamed Newport City railway station.
