Scone railway station is located on the Main Northern line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the town of Scone opening on 17 April 1871.
The station has one platform and a passing loop. The original John Whitton 1871 brick building remains. In June 2014, the layout was reconfigured with the former loop becoming the main line and the platform line the loop.
Scone is the terminating point for NSW TrainLink's Hunter Line services from Hamilton (Newcastle) and a stopping point for NSW TrainLink Xplorer services from Sydney to Armidale and Moree.
The Hunter services were introduced by CityRail in September 1990.
Hunter line services usually terminate at the southern end of the platform which is slightly raised. Xplorers use the full platform.
