Wyong railway station is a heritage-listed railway station located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the northern Central Coast town of Wyong.
History
[edit].jpg)
Wyong station was opened on 15 August 1887.[3] In 1912, the line was duplicated. In 1937, the eastern platform was converted to an island platform. A pair of passing loops were added south of the station in 1948. In the 1950s, a new bridge was built over Wyong Creek immediately south of the station, with the old railway bridge becoming part of the Pacific Highway.[4]
Between April 1982[5] and June 1984, Wyong was the northern extremity of the electrified network.[6] A brick building on Platforms 1 and 2 was replaced by the current structure in the 1990s.[7] On 1 November 1993, an upgraded footbridge with a new ticket office and lifts was opened by Minister for Transport Bruce Baird.[8]
