In 1980, the goods siding was removed and the old station was demolished (although part of the south platform building remains). It was replaced with a three-platform station, so trains could terminate while Box Hill station was being rebuilt. A new ramp from the old tunnel now provides pedestrian access to the central island platform. Victorian Railways' plan in the late 1970s was to add the third track to the south, but Nunawading Council objected, because it would destroy the park there. By 2001, all services that formerly terminated at Box Hill had been extended to Blackburn.
