History

• 1953: Opened as a wayside halt on 28 September.
• 1966: The line between Morningside and Avondale was double-tracked, leading to two new platforms being built. These platforms were off-set from each other.
• 1993: The platforms were raised to meet the standards of the new ex-Perth trains.
• 2011: An upgraded and lengthened station was opened, with the platforms directly opposite each other.
