'''Mindaribba railway station''' is located on the [[North Coast railway line, New South Wales|North Coast line]] in [[New South Wales]], Australia. Originally a full-length platform, it was later replaced by the present short platform.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mindaribba Platform |url=https://www.nswrail.net/locations/show.php?name=NSW:Mindaribba |access-date=2024-11-17 |website=www.nswrail.net}}</ref> It serves the rural locality of [[Mindaribba, New South Wales|Mindaribba]]. It is served by [[NSW TrainLink]] [[Hunter railway line|Hunter Line]] services travelling between [[Newcastle Interchange|Newcastle]] and [[Dungog railway station|Dungog]].

The station opened on 14 August 1911 as '''Dunmore''' and was renamed '''Mindaribba''' the following year.<ref>[http://www.nswrail.net/locations/show.php?name=NSW:Mindaribba Mindaribba Station] NSWrail.net</ref>

==Platforms and services==
Mindaribba consists of a single wooden platform about three metres long. It is served by [[NSW TrainLink]] [[Hunter railway line|Hunter Line]] services travelling between [[Newcastle Interchange|Newcastle]] and [[Dungog railway station|Dungog]]. There are<!--@ April 2018--> five Dungog services and four Newcastle services on weekdays, with three services in each direction on weekends and public holidays.<ref name=timetable>{{Cite New South Wales transport timetables|Hunter}}</ref> It is a [[request stop]] with passengers required to notify the guard if they wish to alight. The platform is so small that it has attracted some media attention.<ref>{{Citation |title=Passing Mindaribba Station |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI_5Ed1d1Q8 |access-date=2023-07-18 |language=en}}</ref>
