In this video, I will take you on an in-depth tour of Newcastle Interchange. I'll start with the train station which opened in 2017. I'll cover the station facilities, platforms, track layout and also show you the stabling facility adjacent to Hamilton Station.
I'll cover some of the history and show you the original Newcastle station, which is heritage listed and is open to the public.
I'll then focus on the Newcastle Light Rail station which opened in 2019 and is a key component of Newcastle Interchange. I'll cover the platform facilities, track layout and also show you the maintenance facility for Newcastle Light Rail trains. This is on the site of the old Wickham station.
I'll finish off with the newest part of Newcastle Interchange. This is the new bus station that opened in 2020. I'll show you the bus stops, bus stands and explain how the new bus station works. I'll also talk about the new car park which is above the bus station.
I'll reveal the architects behind Newcastle Interchange station and the associated bus interchange.

COVID-19
Most of my videos are recorded several weeks before being edited and uploaded. I always follow the government COVID-19 advice and requirements that applied on the day of filming. This is why you sometimes see me wearing a mask and at other times you don't. If you're watching this video during a Sydney lockdown, then please note that it was filmed at a time prior to these restrictions coming into effect.
Accuracy
I do my best to make the commentary in these videos as accurate as possible by checking facts on the internet and other sources. However, sometimes the information isn't available, so I'll use my railway knowledge and insight to explain something to the best of my ability. If accuracy is important, do check the comments, as other viewers will often pick up on things I've missed or any mistakes made. Also note that for older videos, things may change over time, causing some of the information to become out of date.
Construction Sites, Maintenance Facilities and other Private Property
All footage of construction sites, maintenance facilities and other private property is taken from a public vantage point. The only exception is if it's an open day or I have special permission to access the site. The iPhone's small lens and zoom function makes it easier to film through small gaps in hoardings or fencing, so it may look like I'm on site when I'm not! If you would like to know the exact filming location, then ask me in the comments.
