Platforms and services
editMindaribba consists of a single wooden platform about three metres long. It is served by NSW TrainLink Hunter line services travelling between Newcastle and Dungog. There are five Dungog services and four Newcastle services on weekdays, with three services in each direction on weekends and public holidays.[4] 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.[5]
Opposite the platform is a 1,562 metre crossing loop.[6]
