For timetable information, Central Coast and Newcastle Line.
Did some checks Newcastle trains depart usually from platform 9 or 10, but it could be any one of 1-15.
station map.
If you miss the 12:15 train they are every 30 minutes.
Trains to Newcastle from Central run every 30 minutes; example 12:15 and 12:45pm.
Journey for the 12:15pm arrives at 2:51pm so almost 3 hours, 3:08pm with bus connection.
Please note the train only goes to Hamilton, the 3 stations Wickham, Civic and Newcastle were closed in December 2014, Wickham will be reopened at the end of 2017 where it will become a major interchange for buses and light rail.
Platform 9-10.
