In 1978, No. 4 road and the goods platform was abolished.

It was closed as a staff station on 19 June 1987. Former No.2 and No.3 roads were removed by 10 July of the same year.

In 2000, the former crossing loop on the standard gauge line was extended by 670 metres at the down end.

The original platform was located on the broad gauge line. Between 2008 and 2011, this line was converted to standard gauge, and another platform was built on the existing 1962 built standard gauge line.
