First station[edit]

A station opened at Newtown in 1855 with the opening of the Main Suburban Railway Line.[2] This original station was to the west of King St, about where the former Crago's Flour Mills now stand.[3] Mortuary facilities were provided from 1875.[3]

The first station had two platforms, located on either side of King Street, with a connecting footbridge. This arrangement meant the a stopping tgrain stopped past the level crossing in both directions, and minimised the time that the level cross was closed to road traffic.

Heritage listing[edit]

While it is obviously important to note Newtown railway station's heritage listing and the reasons this was done, we don't have to include word-for-word sections from its CC BY entry on the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage website, information that now makes up more than half the article. This is, after all, an article on Newtown railway station, not Newtown railway station's heritage listing by the NSW Office Of Environment and Heritage. Summarising those sections seems reasonable.

This is already being discussed on your talk page User_talk:Wcp07 so no need to repeat it here. And this is not the only station effected. Fleet Lists (talk) 03:36, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
