The station is served by V/Line Bendigo, Echuca and Swan Hill line trains, with some peak-hour services to and from Melbourne terminating here.
Between 1977 and 1979, the Kyneton Provender Coy Siding and Watson's Siding were both abolished.[2][3]
In August 1990, a number of sidings, crossovers, signal posts and the goods shed and goods platform track were all abolished.[2][3][4]
The station was upgraded as part of the Regional Fast Rail project in 2005, with the platforms re-aligned, the manual interlocking frame and level crossing gates decommissioned, and remote-controlled computer-based signalling provided. Also as part of the project, the double-track line between Kyneton and Bendigo was singled.[2][5]
The disused Carlsruhe railway station is located between Kyneton and Woodend. A demolished station was located at Redesdale Junction, between Kyneton and Malmsbury.
