Stay safe
Your safety is our priority. Please take care while walking around the station and yard. There may be times our team is not on duty at the station.
Please follow these precautions while visiting our station:
Look out for trains
Normanton railway station is an operational rail yard. If you see any approaching trains, stop and move at least three metres away from the tracks.
Watch your step
Ensure you are wearing sturdy footwear and be mindful of any uneven ground. Stay on the designated path and crossings and step over the rails as they can be slippery.
Take care of yourself
It can get very hot and humid in this region, please protect yourself with sunscreen, wear a hat and drink plenty of water.
We take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional country of the Gkuthaarn, Kukatj, Kurtijar and Tagalaka Peoples which the Gulflander travels through. We pay respect to Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge their spiritual connection to their lands and waterways and ask their ancestors to watch over us as we tread lightly on Country.
