Newcastle Interchange is an under-construction transport interchange situated in the Newcastle suburb of Wickham, New South Wales. The interchange will house a railway station, serviced by NSW TrainLink and redeveloped from a station originally built in the 1930s, a light rail stop servicing as the western terminus of the Newcastle Light Rail, a bus stop to be serviced by Newcastle Transport, and a taxi rink. The interchange was scheduled to open in late-2016, but a legal challenge over the line's closure delayed the commencement of construction. Construction commenced in May 2016 with a scheduled late-2017 completion date.
The design for the new interchange was released by Transport for New South Wales in July 2015. The government purchased land adjacent to the transport interchange site in September 2015. Originally to be named Wickham Transport Interchange, in December 2015 Transport for NSW lodged a proposal with the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales to have the station name changed to Newcastle Interchange. This was confirmed in December 2016.
Wickham Transport Interchange will be serviced by NSW TrainLink Central Coast & Newcastle Line services to and from Sydney Central and Hunter Line services to and from Maitland, Muswellbrook, Scone, Telarah and Dungog.
