A substation is located at the northern (Up) end of the station.

In 1976, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Station Street level crossing, located at the Up end of the station.[1]

In 1979, the current station buildings were provided.[2] On 4 February of that year, Tait motor 288M was destroyed by fire whilst stabled near the station.[3][4]

During the 1970s and 1980s, the station used to accommodate stabled trains within its sidings. The use of the sidings was discontinued during the late 1980s due to costs and graffiti. The tracks used to stable trains are still visible at the southern (Down) end of the station. The goods yard at the station was closed to traffic by December 1985.[1]

In 2009, the car park nearest to Platform 2 was extended.

The station was due to receive an upgraded commuter car park, following a 2019 commitment by the Morrison Government. However, this was scrapped by the same government in 2021.[5]

Announced in October 2022, Seaford station will be elevated to remove 7 level crossings on the line. Further details, designs and a construction timeline will be released closer to the opening of the station in 2029.[6]
