The station opened to goods traffic in 1883, with an extension of the yard provided at the up end in 1912. The station was closed to goods traffic by July 1969.[2] In 1970, an overpass at nearby Somerville Road opened[2] and, in 1991, the goods yard was removed.[3] Interlocked crossing gates remained at the Anderson Street level crossing until 1995, when they were fixed in the open position and replaced by boom barriers.[3]

A signal box, which was closed in 1996, is located at the down end of Platform 1.[3] In 1997, a pedestrian subway on the station side of Anderson Street was filled in and replaced by pedestrian gates.[3]
