Civic railway station

Civic railway station opened on 22 December 1935 as a result of the growing demand for passenger services into Newcastle. Civic railway station is located in the Newcastle area on the and the 🇭🇺. The station was a side station with two platforms. The station was served by intercity trains to Sydney and diesel railcars to Maitland, Dungog and Scone prior to its closure on the 25 December 2014. A replacement light rail stop is on nearby Hunter Street.

The station has been repurposed as a community park space, called "Museum Place" because of its proximity to Newcastle Museum. Most of the platforms have been demolished however the awnings have been retained. The station building is intact with some modifications to the street-facing awning. The original brick footbridge was taken down in January 2019 and reused as interpretive brickwork in the new greenspace.

The former terminus for the line, Honeysuckle, was located 650 meters west of Civic railway station.

Platforms and services
The station had 2 platforms six carriages long, therefore passengers on longer trains were required to use the rear six carriages. To reduce delays to road traffic at the adjacent level crossing, the Newcastle bound platform was lengthened and the signal protecting the level crossing was relocated. Previously, the level crossing remained closed from when a train approached the platform, for the whole time that the train was stopped and until the train cleared the level crossing causing heavy delays to car traffic. As a result of this platform modification, the level crossing did not close until the train was ready to depart from the platform.
