Layout

[edit]

The station and track is located on an embankment. The station, which is unmanned, consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a shelter for waiting passengers. A parking area with vending machines and a bike shed is located at the base of the embankment off National Route 56. A flight of steps leads from this parking area to the platform and the station is thus not wheelchair accessible.[1][4]
