History

In 1953, the line between Nar Nar Goon and Tynong was duplicated. In 1954, the line to Pakenham was duplicated, electrification of the line between Pakenham and Warragul occurred, and a signal panel was provided. In 1958, the present island platform was provided.

In 1993, siding "A" was abolished, as was a crossover and the up end connection to the former goods yard, with No.2 road baulked at the down end of the Koo Wee Rup Road level crossing. In 1996, No.3 road was abolished, and No.2 road was shortened in length. In 1999, all remaining points were removed.

In 1998, electrified services between Pakenham and Warragul ceased, with de-electrification between those stations occurring in 2001.

On 28 April 2006, the signal panel at the station was abolished.
