Platforms and services
Lochinvar has two side platforms. It is serviced by Sydney Trains Hunter Line services travelling between Newcastle, Singleton, Muswellbrook and Scone.[3]
Improvements
A second platform was added in 1914 when the line was duplicated. As part of the Australian Rail Track Corporation's project to install a third track between Maitland and Whittingham, the station's platforms were extended and a footbridge installed in 2012.[4][5]
