On 23 October 1983, a passing loop was opened opposite the platform."Signalling & Safeworking" Railway Digest April 1984 page 126 This allowed suburban services to terminate, and from January 1992, Berowra became the northern boundary of the Sydney suburban network replacing Cowan."CityRail launches new timetable" Railway Digest February 1992 page 45
On 28 August 2006, Platform 3 opened on the passing loop as part of the Rail Clearways Program, to allow suburban trains to terminate clear of the running lines. Trains now terminate on the middle Platform 2, allowing through trains to overtake any terminating trains standing in the station. The upgrade also included provision of lifts, a new over-rail bridge for general station access and additional wet weather protection.Rail Clearways Program – Completed Projects Transport for New South WalesProject Profile Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation
