The station was earmarked for closure in 2001 due to low patronage but the plan was strongly opposed by the community who eventually won their appeal for it to stay open.
In early 2019 planning for an upgrade to the station commenced with the project set to be completed in 2023.
This upgrade involves two new lifts being built, one for each island platform. The upgrades were completed in September 2023.
