It was a public railway station throughout its life, although principally used by workers at the cement works in Stag Lane.[1] It was not included on public time tables[2] but was available to ramblers visible enough on the primitive gas-lit platform to stop the train "on request".[3] The trackway is now part of a national cycle route.[4]{{Disused Rail Start}}{{Rail line|previous=Newport|next=Medina Wharf|route=British Rail Southern Region IoW CR : Newport to Cowes line|col=00008B}}{{end}} West Medina Cement WorksCement Mills Halt primarily served the West Medina Cement Works,[5] which was owned and operated by Francis and Company Cement Manufacturers.
