Platforms & services

Dungog has an island platform with two faces. It also has a passing loop to the east of the station. It is the terminating point for NSW TrainLink's Hunter line services from Newcastle and a stopping point for NSW TrainLink XPT services. There are five local services to/from Newcastle on weekdays, with three per day on weekends and public holidays.[4] Each day northbound XPT services operate to Grafton, Casino and Brisbane, with three southbound services operating to Sydney.[5] This station is a request stop for the southbound Casino XPT, so this service stops here only if passengers booked to board/alight here.

Usually the XPTs use Platform 1, and the terminating services Platform 2, but these can be alternated for operational reasons.
