Layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track on an embankment. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. A flight of steps leads up the embankment to the platform from the access road. At the base of the steps is a "tickets corner" (a shelter housing a ticket vending machine), a public telephone call box and a paved area for the parking of bicycles.[2][4][5]
