Dubbo railway station is located on the Main Western line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the city of Dubbo, opening on 1 February 1881.
Contents
Dubbo was a major railway centre, being the junction for the Main Western, Molong-Dubbo and Coonamble lines and maintaining a sizeable locomotive depot. Dubbo was the limit for heavier 36, 38 and 60 class locomotives, with smaller locomotives taking over for journeys further west. The station previously had a bay platform, which was removed in August 1988.
Services
Until it ceased in November 1988, Dubbo was served by the Western Mail from Sydney. At Dubbo it connected with the Far West Express to Bourke, Cobar and Coonamble.
In September 1975, the Public Transport Commission introduced six Denning coaches to replace all train services north and west from Dubbo.
Today Dubbo is served by NSW TrainLink's daily Central West XPT service operating to and from Sydney.
NSW TrainLink also operate road coach services from Dubbo to Lithgow, Cootamundra, Broken Hill, Bourke, Nyngan and Lightning Ridge.
