Station layout

The station consists of two side platforms at street level connected by a footbridge. There is no station building and the station is unattended. Because this station is located on a large curve, a large inclination (cant) was installed on the main line (platform 2) side of the track so that express trains could pass at high speed. Trains that stop at platform 2 tilt significantly when they stop at the station and therefore most trains in either direction use Platform 1.
