In August 1943, as part of the Ashworth Improvement Plan, a flyover was constructed to the east of the station, to allow Glen Waverley line services to cross over the Hawthorn-bound line. [7]
In 1963, the Madden Grove level crossing, located nearby in the down direction on the Glen Waverley line, was provided, replacing an earlier level crossing. [8] In 1966, the signal box was rebuilt, the Burnley Street level crossing was grade-separated and the line towards Richmond expanded to quadruple track. In 1972, the third track to Hawthorn was commissioned. [9] On 24 October 1997, the stabling facility was provided, as part of the closure and replacement of Jolimont Yard. [10] As part of this facility, a crossover was provided at the up end of the level crossing. [4]
On 19 December 2008, Burnley was upgraded to a premium station. [4] [11] On 30 November 2017, the signal box was abolished, with control transferred to Metrol. [12]
