A former freight yard was originally located opposite of the station, while a branch line into HMAS Cerberus was located at the Up end of the station, past the level crossing. No. 3 road was removed in 2006,[1] with the last remaining road removed in October 2007.[2] The removal coincided with the removal of a number of semaphore signals at the station as part of a signal upgrade on the Stony Point line.[2]

On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service,[1] with the line between Long Island Junction and Stony Point also closing on the same day.[1] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began,[3] with the passenger service reinstated on 27 September 1984.[1]

Flashing lights were provided at the Naval Base Road level crossing, located nearby in the Up direction of the station, in 1974,[4] with boom barriers provided later on in 2011.[5]

The former station building, which was of a timber construction,[6] was replaced with the current passenger shelters in February 1986.[7]

HMAS Cerberus was also the location for the Mornington Railway Preservation Society, until it relocated to its current site at Moorooduc in 1997.[8]
