The station closed with the line on 1 July 1864, but was reopened on 9 October 1871, under government ownership.The Platform 1 station building was constructed in 1886, as was the signal box. The gates at the level crossing were replaced by boom barriers in 1966. The signal box is located at the Up end of the station, just past the level crossing. A siding is also located at the Up end, used for the nearby grain silos.Special services to Flemington Racecourse and Showgrounds stations run through the station, but do not stop, with signs on the platform advising passengers of the fact.
