Station layout

The station consists of two ground-level side platforms serving two tracks. These were originally only long enough to handle three-car trains, and so the doors could not be opened on two out of the five cars on local trains that used the line. On February 24, 2013, the platforms were extended by two car lengths to enable the doors to be opened on all cars of stopping trains.[1]
