A number of home signals at the station were abolished on 5 January 1994.[2]
The station and platform have recently been renovated, and in 2012, the main building was being offered for commercial lease.[3]
A goods shed is also at the station, as well as a 70' long turntable that has been leased to Steamrail Victoria, who re-opened it to rail traffic in 2021.[4] K class steam locomotive K167 is also statically preserved in a nearby park.
