There is a crossover at the up end of the station, which allows services to terminate there. The station also marks the end of the double track on the Lilydale line.

In 1949, flashing light signals were provided at the former Manchester Road level crossing at the up end of the station, with boom barriers provided in 1983.[1] In 1981, a number of sidings at the station were abolished.[1]

The former ground-level Platform 2 was provided in 1985, along with new track which allowed down trains to enter the platform.[2][3][4] That was in conjunction with the provision of automatic signalling between Mooroolbark and Lilydale.[4]

In October 2013, three small shelters were built at the ends of both former ground level platforms. Platform 1 had shelters at each end, while Platform 2 had one at the down (Lilydale) end. Both platforms also had a raised section installed, reducing the need for a wheelchair ramp to be used.

In 2015, the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced the removal of the Manchester Road level crossing.[5] Work commenced in 2020, with a rail-over-road configuration. The project was scheduled to be completed by 2022, but the rebuilt station reopened to passengers on 19 November 2021.[6]
