Brunswick once had a goods yard, which closed in 1966.[1] The goods siding and associated points and signal discs were abolished in the same year.[1]

In 1972, the station platforms were lengthened.[1]

Announced in September 2022, Brunswick station, alongside others on the Upfield line, will be elevated to remove eight level crossings on the line.[2] Further details, designs and a construction timeline will be released closer to 2027.

The station is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[3]
