Awaba railway station is located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the City of Lake Macquarie town of Awaba opening on 15 August 1887.[1]
In April 1993, the original weatherboard station building on the western platform was damaged in a fire and later demolished.[2][3] It was replaced by the present lighter-weight structure.
Until its formal closure in December 1989, Awaba was the junction for the line to Wangi Power Station, the remnants of which remain behind Platform 1.[4] North of the station are two passing loops, although the northbound one has now been disconnected.
