In 1980, boom barriers replaced hand-operated gates at the nearby High Street level crossing, in the up direction from the station.
Much of the station was extensively altered in the 1980s, following the introduction of CTC between Ararat and Serviceton. In 1983, a signal panel was provided at the station. It was abolished in 2010.
A turntable, which was originally from Murtoa, was provided in 1988.
Dimboola was the terminus for V/Line services from Spencer Street in Melbourne, until they were closed down on 21 August 1993.
