Maitland Railway Station: Signs and Indicator Boards - June 2015

Repainted indicator boards

After a year in protective storage, Maitland’s historic indicator boards have been carefully repainted in their original colours and are now on permanent display in the waiting room behind a perspex case for protection.

Other conservation works at Maitland includes the station’s five platform name boards which have been refurbishment. The individual cast iron letters were stripped of years of paint and repainted, and new timber backing boards were made to the exact measurements of the old, which had previously been in a rotten condition.
