The island platform opened on 19 December 1982, as part of the duplication of the line between Bayswater and Ringwood stations. However, the station building was provided in 1977. It was once the destination for freight trains conveying cement, with the last train running on 24 June 1987, when the traffic was relocated to Lyndhurst station, near Dandenong. Bayswater was upgraded to a Premium station in 2001.

In 1998, a train maintenance centre and stabling facilities opened, as part of the replacement of Jolimont Yard. The buildings are approximately 2,850 m² in size, and permit bogie repair and replacement, under carriage and overhead work.

In November 2015, the Level Crossing Removal Authority announced plans to remove the level crossings on either side of the station, at Mountain Highway and Scoresby Road, via a grade separation. In conjunction with removing the level crossings, a new Bayswater station will be built below ground.

Between October and December 2016, the level crossings at either side of station at Mountain Highway and Scoresby Road were removed. In conjunction the old Bayswater station closed on 15 October, then it was demolished for the new Bayswater station to built below ground. The station reopened to passengers on 12th December 2016.
