In 1910, a turntable was provided at the station. It was out of use by November 1960, and was removed by March 1963.[1]

In 1976, a siding at the Up end of the station was removed.[1] The following year, in 1977, the goods yard was closed.[1]

On 22 June 1981, the passenger service between Frankston and Stony Point was withdrawn and replaced with a bus service,[1] with the line between Long Island Junction and Stony Point also closing.[1] On 16 September 1984, promotional trips for the reopening of the line began,[2] with the passenger service reinstated on 27 September 1984.[1]

A run-around loop exists to the north and west of the station, but has not been regularly used since locomotive hauled services ceased in April 2008.
