Dubbo was a major railway centre, being the junction for the Main Western, Molong–Dubbo and Coonamble lines and maintaining a sizeable locomotive depot. The Troy Junction–Merrygoen railway line also branches off close to the station. Dubbo was the limit for heavier 36, 38 and 60 class locomotives, with smaller locomotives taking over for journeys further west. The station previously had a bay platform, which was removed in August 1988. Rail services east from Sydney Central terminate at Dubbo and there are now services by coaches to the north west.
