Nambucca Heads railway station is located on the North Coast line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the town of Nambucca Heads, opening on 3 December 1923 as Nambucca Heads.[1] It was renamed Nambucca in October 1925, before resuming Nambucca Heads on 21 June 1964.[2][3]

Platforms and services

[edit]

Nambucca Heads has one platform. Each day northbound XPT services operate to Grafton and Casino, with three southbound services operating to Sydney including the Brisbane XPT.[4] There is a connecting bus service to Macksville.[1] This station is a request stop for the southbound Casino XPT, so this service stops here only if passengers booked to board/alight here. The northbound Brisbane XPT passes through this station without stopping.
