Talks of a "super station" were active in 2007–2008 but have not been revisited.
Despite the failed proposal to convert Croydon into a super station, Croydon is currently undergoing a complete upgrade due to infrastructure funding under the recovery act. The two green shelters have been torn down and new raised handicapped accessible platforms have been added, new parking lots have been paved, new lighting has been erected and a new underpass walkway has been added. The station will be completed in the spring of 2011.
