New Romney railway station is a station on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway in New Romney, Kent, England. Until the opening of the Dungeness extension it was the terminus for trains from Hythe (this area is now occupied by the restaurant and model exhibition). The current station was built in the 1930s and was the scene of the famous newsreel of Laurel and Hardy reopening the Dungeness line in 1947.
Today the station houses a cafe, shop and model railway museum as well as the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway engine sheds and workshops.
