Adamstown Railway Station is located in Newcastle, serving the suburb of Adamstown on the Central Coast and Newcastle line of the NSW TrainLink intercity network. The station has two platforms in use, plus a third on a disconnected relief line. The station opened on 15 August 1887 and is wheelchair accesible. The level crossing at the northern end of the station has been planned for replacement with an overpass for decades and has been the scene of pedestrian fatalities.

Platforms[]

The station is served by intercity trains to Sydney and Newcastle. The station itself has a short platform, thus passengers on 8-car trains are asked to use the last 4 carriages.

The station is served by one service per hour in each direction, during the weekday off-peak, with extra services on during the peak. On weekends the frequency drops to one service every two hours in each direction.

Disused Lines and Platforms[]

The branch line to Belmont, which has been partly redeveloped as a cycleway called The Fernleigh Track, used to branch off the eastern side of the main line south of the station. Remnants of the line remain visible including a level crossing on Park Avenue. The western side of the island platform used to be used as a relief and was the main route for coal trains from the Belmont line. Later rationalisation of lines to narrow the level crossing on the northern side of the station saw the complete removal of the western line across the level crossing and through the station. The northern end of the relief remains today as a dead end. More recently, wheelchair ramps have been constructed for access to the platforms. The western wheelchair ramp, which is accessed from the level crossing, has been built over part of the former western line.
