The station is located above the Ashley Street rail overpass, which provides station access.

Tottenham Yard lies north of the station. A number of freight only lines also run alongside, along with the Melbourne – Sydney and Melbourne – Adelaide standard gauge lines. The Regional Rail Link lines run to the south of the station.[2]

The station was rebuilt as an island platform in 1981–1982, to eliminate the Ashley Street level crossing, replacing it with a rail overpass over a two-lane road tunnel. The Up line first opened on 19 May 1981,[1] and the Down line and island platform opened later, on 27 July 1982.[1] At the same time, the signal box was demolished, and a number of signal posts and a crossover were abolished.[3][4][1]

In 2014, a minor upgrade was undertaken to the station as part of the Regional Rail Link project. The biggest of these was the extension of the bridge over Ashley Street to accommodate the new tracks. The façade facing Sunshine Road was also upgraded, as well as a new carpark and 'Park and Ride' facilities added, and a power substation built on Sunshine Road, just beyond the carpark.

Demolished station White City was located between Tottenham and Sunshine stations.
