The last Victorian Railways service to stop at Nhill was the Dimboola to Serviceton service that ceased on 1 December 1978.[2] In March 2007, The Overland passenger service began stopping at the station.[3]
Much of the station was extensively altered in the 1980s, following the introduction of CTC between Ararat and Serviceton, including the removal of the signal box, interlocking and all signals.[1][4]
