The station was closed in 1944, but was reopened on October 1, 1949. The station has been unattended since October 1, 1979. The station was closed again from January 2002 to October 2003 due to construction which elevated the tracks and replaced the station building. In January 2005, the Tranpass system of magnetic fare cards with automatic turnstiles was implemented.[2]
