Both platforms were extended at the down end of the station in 1973.[1]

The former goods sidings, located at the down end of the station, were abolished in 1986.[2] The crossover, also located at the down end, was spiked out of use around that time.[2] It was removed at a later date.

During October 1987, the double line block systems between Northcote and Merri and Northcote and Thornbury were abolished, and replaced with three position signalling.[3]

In 1987, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Arthurton Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station. The signal box was also abolished during that time.[1]
