Boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Springvale Road level crossing, which was located at the Up end of the station, in 1964.[2]

In 1975, the signal box was provided with a new relay interlocking system.[3] Also in that year, a crossover was abolished at the Up end of the station, with a new crossover provided at the Down end. In 1976, the goods platform was abolished.[4]

It was upgraded to a Premium Station on 7 June 1996.[5]

The remnant of a former branch line, which went to Spring Vale Cemetery station, was located at the Down end of the station. It was provided with overhead wiring in 1922.[2] The majority of the line was dismantled in 1952,[2] with the remaining portion of the line becoming a siding.[2] In October 2002, it was booked out of use, and the associated points, signals, crossover, and overhead wiring were removed in August 2008.[6]

On 30 January 2012, the signal box was abolished, with control transferred to the Dandenong signal box.[7] In mid-2013, construction commenced on a grade separation project to eliminate the Springvale Road level crossing, immediately adjacent to the station. As part of this project, a new station was constructed below street level, which opened on 22 April 2014.[8][9][10]
