Civic Railway Station
The station precinct was redeveloped into Museum Park, which opened in 2019; the area between the platforms was filled in and the station shelters and buildings (now occupied by the Newcastle Visitor Information Centre) preserved.
Platforms and services
Civic had two side platforms that could accommodate six carriages. At the time of its closure, it was serviced by trains from Sydney Central to Newcastle and local services from Newcastle to Maitland, Muswellbrook, Scone, Telarah and Dungog.
Platform 1 was for services to Newcastle. Platform 2 was for services to Gosford, Sydney Central, Maitland, Telarah, Dungog, Muswellbrook and Scone.
In 2007, Platform 2 was extended at its western end to allow the Merewether Street level crossing to remain open while trains were stopped at the station.
