History
Between 1977 and 1979, the Kyneton Provender Coy Siding and Watson's Siding were both abolished.
In August 1990, a number of sidings, crossovers, signal posts and the goods shed and goods platform track were all abolished.
The station was upgraded as part of the Regional Fast Rail project in 2005, with the platforms re-aligned, the manual interlocking frame and level crossing gates decommissioned, and remote-controlled computer-based signalling provided. Also as part of the project, the double-track line between Kyneton and Bendigo was singled.
