In 1922, the station was closed to goods traffic.[2] A siding at the station was removed in the same year.[2]

In 1968, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former North Road level crossing, which was at the down end of the station.[2] In 1974, all interlocking at the station was abolished.[2]

The up face of the former surface-level island platform was brought into use on 28 June 1987.[3]

In May 2014, the Victorian Government announced a grade separation project to remove the North Road level crossing, requiring the station to be rebuilt.[4] The station temporarily closed on 25 March 2016, to allow its demolition and rebuilding below ground level. The new station opened on 29 August 2016.
