History

On 30 June 1984, the current island platform was provided, as part of the duplication of the line between Ringwood and Croydon. [7] [4] In that same year, boom barriers were provided at the Dublin Road level crossing, located nearby in the up direction of the station. [7] [8]

On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the level crossing will be grade separated by 2025, with a rail trench to be built underneath the road. [9] [10] [11] The level crossing removal will also involve the construction of a new station. [9] [10] In May 2023, construction on the project began, [12] with the completion date in early July 2024. [13]
