A footbridge was located at the Down end of the former ground level station, whilst a disused signal box is located below the Up end of the elevated Platform 2.

The station was badly damaged by fire on 2 May 1975.[2]

Manually controlled boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Moreland Road level crossing, which was located at the Up end of the station, in 1986.[3]

In August 1988, former sidings "A", "B" and "C" and associated point work were abolished.[4] Also abolished were the Up and Down end crossovers, and a number of disc signals.[4]

On 7 May 2019, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the Moreland Road and Reynard Street level crossings were to be grade separated.[5][6] A new elevated station opened after the completion of these works on 14 December 2020, replacing the previous ground level station, which closed on 27 July 2020.[7]
