Moree railway station is located on the Mungindi line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the town of Moree, opening in 1904, replacing the original station located to the north that opened on 1 April 1897 when the line was extended from Boggabri.[1][2]

It served as the terminus of the line until it was extended to Bengerang on 29 September 1913 and ultimately Mungindi on 7 December 1914. Moree was also the junction station for the Boggabilla and Inverell lines.[2]

The station is an island platform with two faces. In 2009, a timber building at the southern end of the platform was destroyed by fire.[2]

Services

Moree is served by NSW TrainLink's daily Northern Tablelands Xplorer service operating to and from Sydney.[3] NSW TrainLink also operate a coach service to Grafton.[4]
