In 1957, the line between Croydon and Mooroolbark was duplicated, with a number of sidings provided at the same time.

[4] In 1979, the present Coolstore Road level crossing, located in the down direction of the station, was provided, replacing a previous level crossing. [4] [7]
On 30 June 1984, the current Platform 1 opened, as part of the duplication of the line between Croydon and Ringwood. [8] The remaining sidings were also abolished during this time. [4] On 31 July 1996, Croydon was upgraded to a premium station. [9]
On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the Coolstore Road level crossing will be grade separated by 2025, with a rail bridge to be built over the road. [10] [11] [12] The level crossing removal will also involve the construction of a new station. On 6 August 2022, early concept designs were released. [13] In March 2023, construction on the project began. [14] On 30 January 2024, Croydon station closed temporarily to allow construction to take place, [5] with the station buildings and Platform 2 demolished in the following days.
Croydon has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Lilydale line services. [15]
