In 1978, flashing light signals were provided at the former Cardinia Road level crossing, located at the up end of the station, with boom barriers being installed in 1986.[2] On 6 December 2020, as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project, the level crossing was grade separated, and replaced with a road overpass.[3] The boom barriers, flashing lights and bells were dismantled in February 2021.[4]
