As part of the grade separation project to replace the Mitcham Road and Rooks Road level crossings, the original station closed on 2 January 2014 and was replaced by a new below ground station that opened on 25 January 2014.

Until the 1970s, a shunting yard and goods shed existed where the southern car park exists today. Tracks remained embedded in the car park surface of that time, enabling parking for the great majority of the time when trains did not use the yard.
