It was renamed Northcote on 10 December 1906. Both platforms were extended at the Down end of the station in 1973. The former goods sidings, located at the Down end of the station, were abolished in 1986. The crossover, also located at the Down end, was spiked out of use around this time. It was removed at a later date. During October 1987, the double line  block systems between Northcote and Merri and Northcote and Thornbury were abolished, and replaced with three positioning signalling.
