There is no station building but weather shelters are provided on both platforms for waiting passengers. Flights of steps lead up to each platform from ground level. Access to the opposite platform is by means of a pedestrian tunnel under the embankment. A designated parking space for bicycles is provided near the station.[2][3][5]
