History
This was first opened in 1932 as a temporary station.[4] It was closed in 1942, reopened in 1953, but ceased to operate soon afterwards. The new station began to operate on 2 September 2011, as a result of TRA's policy of transforming its railroad lines into an MRT-type railroad.
The only train that stops at this station is the local train. The station is located at the outskirts of Banqiao, and is mostly used by commuters.
