Regular passenger services ceased in 1948, although some trains were run in the years after that to cater for spectators attending football matches at nearby Princes Park.[3]
Until the mid-1970s, the station building was used as a residence by the former station master and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes. It was vacated after their deaths. The building is now the North Carlton Station Neighborhood House.
