Both platforms were extended at the Down end of the station in 1973.[1]
During October 1987, the double line block system between Thornbury and Northcote was abolished, and replaced with three positioning signalling,[2] with all two position signals between Thornbury and Merri also abolished.[2] A number of signal posts were also abolished during this time.[1]
Boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Hutton Street level crossing around 1987/1988.[3][4]
Announced as part of a $21.9 million package in the 2022/23 Victorian State Budget, Thornbury Station, alongside others, will receive accessibility upgrades, the installation of CCTV and platform shelters.[5] The development process will begin in late 2022 or 2023, with a timeline for the upgrades to be released once construction has begun.
