In 1954, flashing light signals were provided at the Millers Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station,[1] with boom barriers provided in 1985.[1] In 2020, the boom barriers were replaced with a newer system and repainted into the more current Red and White scheme.

In 2016/2017, Seaholme was the fifth-least-used station on Melbourne's metropolitan network, with 103,446 passenger movements recorded.[3]

There were two stations, Mobiltown[4] and Williamstown Racecourse,[5] between Seaholme and Newport, but they are now closed and demolished.
