The station has one platform and a passing loop. The original John Whitton 1871 brick building remains.[2] In June 2014, the layout was reconfigured with the former loop becoming the main line and the platform line the loop.[3]
Platforms & services
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.[4][5]
The Hunter services were introduced by CityRail in September 1990.[6]
Hunter line services usually terminate at the southern end of the platform which is slightly raised. Xplorers use the full platform.
