Location
Awaba Location within New South Wales

In April 1993, the original weatherboard station building on the western platform was damaged in a fire and later demolished.[3][4] It was replaced by the present lighter-weight structure.

Until its formal closure in December 1989, Awaba was the junction for the line to Wangi Power Station, the remnants of which remain behind Platform 1.[5] North of the station are two passing loops, although the northbound one has now been disconnected.

Platforms and services

Awaba has two side platforms. It is serviced by NSW TrainLink Central Coast & Newcastle Line services travelling from Sydney Central to Newcastle.[6]
