History

The station was opened on 18 April 1892. In 1899 the station was rebuilt and a depot was constructed. In 1905 the station was reconstructed with level platforms, having previously had an angle of 73°.

In 1932 the newspaper kiosk was opened. In 1976 the platforms were constructed.

The station was substantially rebuilt in 1991. A freight depot was constructed underneath the passenger station. The track furthest from the passenger station building is used for the delivery of building materials such as cement, which can be tipped from freight wagons into lineside hoppers.
