Teralba is a railway station in the outer suburbs of Newcastle on the Main Northern railway line. The station has two platforms in an island configuration, with stairs to a footbridge to Railway St and William St.
History[]
Teralba station opened on 15 August 1887.[1] At the time, Teralba station operated an island platform, the eastern side for coal transportation from the Pacific colliery, and some passenger services, to and from Newcastle. Freight and passenger services to Sydney used the other side of the island platform. Trains to Newcastle and points north went through the western platform.
Preparation for electrification included removal of the western platform and conversion of the island platform to allow trains to run both north and south. A Teralba landmark - the prominent signal box on top of the island platform, also disappeared, as part of the electrification program. Electrification of the northern line to Newcastle was completed in 1984.
Services[]
The station is served by NSW TrainLink's Central Coast & Newcastle Line services to Sydney (Central) and Newcastle. Only all stations services stop, express services pass through without stopping. Due to short platform at this station, passengers must alight from the rear 4 cars on V sets or the rear 6 cars on other trains. For simplicity, the station has the short platform code SP4 (use rear 4 cars).
The station has a small car park, along with bus connections to routes 270/271 operated by Hunter Valley Buses.
