Casino is a regional railway station on the NSW TrainLink Regional North Coast line. It serves the town of Casino. The Casino XPT service terminates here.
History[]
Casino station opened as an island platform on 22 September 1930. [1]
In October 1990, the eastern platform was decommissioned, and the area was eventually converted into a coach stop. This converted the station from an island formation to a single side formation.
Casino had a locomotive depot with a roundhouse until it closed on 25 July 1986. It reopened in 1996 when it was leased to Northern Rivers Railroad.
The station was added to the NSW State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. [2]
Work is currently underway for an accessibility upgrade at Casino, as part of the Transport Access Program. Key benefits include upgrades to existing paths and ramps, modifications to the waiting rooms, improved amenities including ambulant toilets, regrading sections of the platform and installing new tactile indicators, and improvements to lighting and wayfinding. Construction began in September 2022 and is expected to be completed by early 2023. [3]
