The station was closed in 1976 and was merged with Doomben, due to the expense of constructing higher-level platforms at two closely adjacent stations. For a time, the new station was known as Whinstanes-Doomben, but the "Whinstanes" part of the name was dropped in 1988, after the electrification of the line .
