In 1977, boom barriers replaced hand gates at the former Bondi Road level crossing, which was located at the Down end of the station.[3] A control panel was also provided in that year, and was abolished in 1982.[1] In 1981, the former ground level station buildings were rebuilt.[4]
In 2015, new passenger amenities were added to the former ground level station, including passenger information displays, additional myki readers, a network status board and an additional shelter at the Up end of Platform 1.[5] Safety improvements, including additional CCTV cameras as well as tactile platform edges, were also added.[6]
As part of the Level Crossing Removal Project, the station was reconstructed to remove the adjacent level crossing at Bondi Road, with works commencing on 26 July 2021. The removal was done simultaneously along the grade separation of Chelsea and Edithvale stations. The new station consists of two side platforms lowered into a trench, with Bondi Road passing overhead nearby. The existing pedestrian level crossing at Golden Avenue was converted into an overpass, whilst the crossing at Broadway was removed.[7][8] The rebuilt station opened to passengers on 22 November 2021.[9][10]
The station was used in the Australian television comedy series Kath & Kim in episode two of series four, as the location of a Gloria Jean's coffee cart grand opening party.
