Newport Dock Street railway station was one of three stations in central Newport, Monmouthshire. It was opened in 4 August 1852 as the terminus of Monmouthshire western valleys line to Blaina and Ebbw Vale. The line itself had opened on 21 December 1850 with a temporary terminus at Courtybella.
By May 1855 the Western Valley line was connected to the Eastern Valley line at Mill Street station, although Dock Street station continued to act as a terminus.
By 1879 a connection was made from Park Junction to Gaer Junction just west of the Hillfield Tunnels on the Great Western Main line. By 1880 all Western Valley trains were diverted via this new chord to High Street station.
