Boom barriers replaced hand gates at the Bondi Road level crossing in 1977.[3] In 1981, the station buildings were rebuilt.[4]

The station was used in the Australian television comedy series Kath & Kim in episode two of series four, as the location of a Gloria Jean's coffee cart grand opening party.
