Victoria Street railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the Victoria Street area of East Maitland. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[3]
It opened on 5 April 1857.[4]
It is in about the same location as the first East Maitland station and marked the temporary terminus of the railway from Newcastle while the bridge over Wallis Creek was built. From 1906 to 1926, it was also an interchange station with the steam tramway line from West to East Maitland.
The building was built in 1877, and in 1914, the single platform was converted to an island platform and a footbridge was added when the line was duplicated.[5] The station footbridge was added along with the island conversion in 1914.[3]
From 2017 to 2018, under the Transport Access Program, Victoria Street Station received three new lifts, new canopies and signage, bike racks and improvements to the interchange areas.[6]
