Adamstown railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the southern Newcastle suburb of Adamstown, and was opened on 15 August 1887.[3]
As part of the electrification of the line in the early 1980s, new station buildings were built, the western relief line and Platform 3 removed, and the 1939 built signal box on Platform 1 that used to control movements to the Belmont line decommissioned on 4 December 1983.[4] [5] Until December 1991, the Belmont line diverged to the south-east of the station.
The station was upgraded with new lifts and footbridge with work completed by late 2017.[6]
In 2019, Platform 1 was extended to accommodate 10-cars.
Adamstown has two platforms plus a third disused. It is serviced by NSW TrainLink Central Coast & Newcastle Line services travelling from Sydney Central to Newcastle.
Newcastle Transport operates one bus route via Adamstown station, under contract to Transport for NSW:
