The station was opened on October 3, 1981, and consists of one island platform with two rail tracks. Tram lines 701 and 705 stop on the surface near the station.

In 2003, a 50-year-old man drove his car into the entrance of the station on street level (without going all the way in) when he thought it was entrance to a car park.[1] Likewise, in 2007, a 52-year-old woman drove her car into the entrance staircase, also thinking it would lead to a car park.[1]
