Duplication of the line between Heyington and Burnley stations occurred in 1926,[1] with duplication between Heyington and Kooyong stations occurring in 1955.[1] In 1969, the current overpass, located just beyond the Up end of the station, and which crosses over the Yarra River and the Monash Freeway, was provided.[1]

The current station building on Platform 1 was provided in 1975.[2] Parcel facilities were also abolished around this time.[3]

St Kevin's College is located adjacent to Platform 2.

Platforms and services

Heyington has two side platforms, connected by a footbridge. Access to the platforms is provided by stairs only, making Heyington the only railway station in Melbourne not to have disabled access.[4]
