Getting Here

The excitement of Hunter Valley Steamfest all will happen around the Maitland Railway Station precinct which is located in Church St and Railway St Maitland.

To get to Steamfest we recommend using the following forms of public transport:

By Train

Don’t want the hassle of finding a parking space? You don’t have to. CityRail’s Hunter line trains will be operating a special Steamfest weekend timetable which includes half hourly services, so you’ll be able to get off right in the heart of where the action is at Maitland Station.

Passengers of Maitland Taxi Service are advised that altered traffic conditions will be in place from 7.00am – 5.00pm over the Steamfest weekend. Access to the Maitland Railway Station will be through Athel D’Ombrain Drive only, which passengers should note could result in an increase in fare.  It is recommended wherever possible that access to this area be minimised.
