Newcastle railway station is a heritage-listed closed railway station on the Newcastle railway line at Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. It was the main railway station and terminus station prior to the curtailment of the Newcastle railway line.
The current railway station structure was built in 1878 under the direction of John Whitton and was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999,[2] with additional workshops and rail yards surrounding the station also added to the Register on the same day.[3][4]
In September 2018, the Newcastle station precinct was reopened as a multipurpose community space branded as The Station.[5][6][7]
