In 1956, the railway line between Dandenong and Narre Warren was duplicated,[2] with duplication to Berwick occurring in 1962.[2] An island platform was also provided in 1962, as well as boom barriers replacing interlocked gates at the Webb Street level crossing at the up end of the station.[2]

In 1970, a crossover between No. 2 and No.3 roads was abolished.[2] In 1974, flashing light signals were provided at the former Cranbourne Road level crossing,[2] which was located at the down end of the station, with boom barriers provided later on in 1986.[2]

The waiting room at the former Narre Warren station was demolished in 1978.[3]

By 1988, No. 2 road was booked out of use, as well as points at each end of the road and a crossover at the up end of the station.[2] In 1989, the signal box was abolished.[2]

In 1995, the station was relocated to the east side of the Webb Street level crossing, and reopened on 3 June.[2]

It was upgraded to a Premium Station in October 2003. In 2004, the Cranbourne Road level crossing was grade separated by being replaced with a road underpass.[2]

On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the Webb Street level crossing would be grade separated by 2025, with a rail over road "hybrid" design. Webb Street was to be lowered and a rail bridge built over the road.[4] A new station would also be built as part of those works.[5][6]

Platforms, facilities and services

Narre Warren has one island platform with two faces. It is located east of the Webb Street level crossing, which also provides station access. A semi-large fibro building is located at the Flinders Street (Up) end of the station, which houses an enclosed waiting area, toilets and ticket facilities. There is a myki ticket vending machine inside the waiting area, which is able to top up and dispense cards. There is also a small café located next to the entrance of the building, which is open in the morning peak, selling coffee and newspapers. A Protective Service Officers' (PSO) pod is located next to the station building, which is used from 6.00pm until last train every day.

Narre Warren is served by Pakenham line trains.[7] On average, there are three off-peak trains per hour on weekdays, travelling to/from Flinders Street, with more frequent services during peak hours, and three services an hour on weekends.

Platform 1:

•  Pakenham line  all stations and limited express services to Flinders Street

Platform 2:

•  Pakenham line  all stations services to Pakenham

In late 2025, it is planned to connect the Pakenham line to the Sunbury line, via the new Metro Tunnel.
