In 1962, the Melbourne-Albury standard gauge line opened. It ran behind Platform 1, so the signal box had to be replaced by a new structure to the west of the main lines, between those lines and the branch line. The branch line closed in 1968, with the signal box following in 1970. The signal box was demolished in February 1973, although the foundations can still be seen today. The pedestrian crossing at the Up end of the station was upgraded in 2006/07.
