The current gap provides wide-bodied freight trains with the required platform clearance to safely move through the station. The Australian Rail Track Corporation, as the owner of the railway tracks on the Hunter Line, manages this infrastructure and determines the type of trains that can access its network including freight services.
NSW TrainLink staff can assist customers to board or alight at Beresfield Station. Regular announcements on trains and at the station remind customers to mind the gap. Platform modifications are currently not being considered.
