Thornton railway station is located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves Thornton in the eastern suburbs of Maitland opening in 1913.[1]
The original station opened on 1 August 1871 as Woodford being renamed in 1887 to avoid confusion with Woodford station in the Blue Mountains.[2][3] The line from Tarro was duplicated in 1880 and quadrupled in February 1913 when the current station opened.[1]
To the south-west of the station, the Bloomfield Colliery branches off.
