Wickham railway station was located on the Newcastle line in New South Wales, Australia. It served the inner Newcastle suburb of Wickham opening on 9 February 1936.[1][2][3]
It closed on 25 December 2014, when the Newcastle line was truncated to Hamilton to allow construction of the Newcastle Light Rail line.[4] A new Wickham Transport Interchange will be built to the west of Wickham station as the line's terminus, where it will connect with the light rail.[5][6]
Platforms & services
Wickham had two side platforms that could only accommodate four carriages. It was serviced by NSW TrainLink Central Coast & Newcastle Line services travelling from Sydney Central to Newcastle[7] and Hunter Line services from Newcastle to Maitland, Muswellbrook, Scone, Telarah and Dungog.[8]
In 2007, Platform 1 was extended at its eastern end to allow Stewart Avenue level crossing to remain open while trains were stopped at the station.[9]
