To the west of the station lies the NSW North Coast dual gauge line primarily used by Gold Coast, NSW TrainLink XPT and freight services.[2]
In 1996, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line was converted to dual gauge.[3]
In 2022, construction began on the station upgrade as part of the Cross River Rail project, with platforms raised and lifts added to platforms and the carpark entry via Brooke Street. The dual gauge track will also be provided with a platform.[citation needed]
