Tayport Branch
Newport-on-Tay East station was on the branch line from the southern end of the Tay Bridge to Tayport, formerly part of the North British Railway, then the LNER and from 1948 the Scottish Region of British Railways. The line was single track; it was necessary to have some stations which acted as passing places. The first passing place was at Wormit station and the second was at Newport-on-Tay East. The single platform Newport-on-Tay West railway station was much smaller.
