A train stabling yard, which opened in 1997, is located north of the station.[2] An extra stabling siding (Siding A) was provided in 2011.[1]

Flashing light signals were provided at the Barry Road level crossing, located at the Up end of the station, in 1965,[1] with boom barriers provided later on in 1998, as part of the upgrade works along the Upfield line.

The station was upgraded in 2002-2003,[3] and was upgraded to a Premium Station in December 2007.[4]

The line originally continued to Somerton. Under the PTV Network Development Plan, released in 2013, that section of the line would be reinstated, and would include a flyover over the North East standard gauge line. That would allow Seymour V/Line services to run via Upfield, and would facilitate the eventual electrification of the line to Wallan.[5]

In 1997, a signal panel was provided at the station.[1] It was abolished on 30 June 2019, with control transferred to Metrol.[6]
