Allandale railway station was a railway station serving the Hunter Region town of Allandale. Opening to passenger services in 1869, it originally consisted of two brick platforms. The original station closed on 7 September 1978, and the station was demolished.[1] It was later reopened with smaller platforms, before being temporarily closed in 2002 due to the nearby bridge construction, and finally permanently closed on 9 September 2005, after railway works by the Australian Rail Track Corporation. There is no sign of the station now.

It was planned in the 1870s to construct a branch from this station towards Wollombi, roughly around the Great North Road corridor; advocacy from certain Maitland-based groups began in the 1840s.[2] This plan, however, never came to fruition.
