1987. Automatic Block signalling was provided in August 1997. With the electrification of the Werribee line in 1983, many of the Williamstown Pier services became shuttle services from Newport instead of through services from Flinders Street. The January 2021 timetable rewrite resulted in previous weekend daytime shuttle services being extended from Newport to Flinders Street. Peak hour weekday services now stop at South Kensington, which simplifies stopping patterns on the Werribee Line. The level crossing at Ferguson Street, adjacent to North Williamstown Station, has now been removed by the Level Crossing Removal Authority with the railway sunk into a rail trench and an entirely new station built replacing the previous station on that site. The crossing was fully removed in 2022.
