Civic is a railway station located in Newcastle, New South Wales,Australia on the Newcastle & Central Coast Line, and the Hunter Line.The station is a side station with two platforms. The station is served by intercity trains to Sydney, Maitland, Dungog and Scone.

Platforms/Service

The station has platforms six carriages long, passengers on longer trains are required to use the rear six carriages.

To reduce delays to road traffic at the adjacent level crossing, the Newcastle bound platform was lengthened and the signal protecting the level crossing was relocated [Page 2; [http://www.premiers.nsw.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/B261FCAF-78B7-40F3-9D47-96755C561621/0/ProjectSummarySheetNRC.pdf "Newcastle Rail Corridor Project Upgrades"] , "NSW Government", retrieved 26 November 2006] . Previously, the level crossing remained closed from when a train approached the platform, for the whole time that the train was stopped and until the train cleared the level crossing. As a result of this platform modification, the level crossing does not close until the train is ready to depart from the platform.
