The main car park at the station is located on Coleman Parade just south of the station. [4] Although there are ramps, they do not fully comply with the Disability Discrimination Act of 1992, as the gradient of the ramps is steeper than the maximum of 1:14 allowed under the Act. [10] [11]

In 2015, the station was upgraded to include an additional 250 car parking spaces, with a new multi-deck car park, improved lighting, the installation of CCTV cameras, as well as enhanced pedestrian access. [15] On 26 October of that year, the multi-deck car park officially opened. [16] The four-story car park cost roughly $10.8 million.

On 20 November 1989, the station was the site of a collision involving Hitachi and Comeng train sets. [18] [19] The incident occurred after the 07:49 train from Glen Waverley passed a red signal, and collided with the 07:46 train from Glen Waverley, at a speed of roughly 40 km/h. The collision impact resulted in the stationary train being pushed roughly 2–3 metres (6.6–9.8 ft). [20] The 07:46 was stationary at Syndal due to a problem with the doors closing when the collision happened. 75 people were injured in the collision. [21]

Services to the city head to Burnley, joining the Alamein, Belgrave and Lilydale lines, before heading to Richmond and traveling through the City Loop in a clockwise direction. [6]
