Scone railway station, New South Wales

Scone Railway Station is located in the town of Scone, New South Wales, and lies on the Main North Line. It is the most northern station of the CityRail network, and is the western terminus of the Main North branch of the Hunter Valley rail line. It is also served by CountryLink services between Sydney and Armidale/Moree. It was opened on April 17, 1871.

tation configuration

The station has one very long platform, and is on one side of the track. The other side is fenced off to separate the track from residential areas and the local youth club. The building itself is historic, and still features its original signage. CityRail trains usually park up along the other end of the platform where the platform is slightly raised, meaning travellers need to walk up along the platform to get onto the train. Countrylink trains park towards the other end of the platform, alongside the station building.

The station carpark acts as a local public transport interchange, with buses using the station as a stop, especially during trackwork along the Hunter line. The station's toilets are closed, but there are toilets available in the nearby park and at the service station a few hundred metres away.

Platforms/Service

The station, with a single platform, is mostly un-supervised, with usually three CityRail trains leaving the station each weekday (once in the early morning, twice after 6pm) and two trains during the weekends and public holidays (once in the morning, once at night) as well as one CountryLink train in each direction daily. It also has no CityRail ticketing machines, which means travellers are required to purchase a ticket when they arrive at their location. CountryLink tickets can be purchased from the local community centre.

Platform 1:
*Hunter Valley line colour>Hunter Line - terminating services; regional services to Newcastle.
*CountryLink North Western - country services to Sydney (1 per day); country services to Armidale and Moree via Werris Creek (1 per day).
