Shuttle services

In 1975, the present station building was provided.[5][6]

On 30 June 1984, the current island platform was provided, as part of the duplication of the line between Ringwood and Croydon.[7][4] In that same year, boom barriers were provided at the Dublin Road level crossing, located nearby in the up direction of the station.[7][8]

On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the level crossing will be grade separated by 2025, with a rail trench to be built underneath the road.[9][10][11] The level crossing removal will also involve the construction of a new station.[9][10]
