Boom barriers replaced hand-operated gates at the High Street level crossing, located nearby in the Up direction of the station, in 1980.[2]

Much of the station was extensively altered in the 1980s, following the introduction of CTC between Ararat and Serviceton.[3] In 1983, a signal panel was provided at the station.[1] It was abolished in 2010.[4]

A turntable, which was originally from Murtoa, was provided in 1988.[5]

The station was the terminus for V/Line services from Spencer Street in Melbourne, until these services were withdrawn on 21 August 1993.[6]
