Location

Aberdeen railway station is an intercity railway station located on the Main North line, serving the Hunter Valley town of Aberdeen. It is served by Sydney Trains Intercity Hunter Line and NSW TrainLink North Western Region services.

History

Aberdeen opened on 20 August 1870. ^[2] The station was completely rebuilt in 1899, as part of works to remove level crossings within the town. These works included the demolition of the original station buildings, the lowering of the station by 3.0 metres (10 ft) and the raising of nearby streets with excess material from the railway cuttings. ^[3]

In 2010, the station was refurbished, with a new shelter and retaining walls built.
