Layout
The station opened with a crossing loop of about 400m length. In 2010, the crossing loop was extended into a 7 km passing lane. Exceptionally this passing lane has intermediate home signals protecting a level crossing and some wheat sidings which have the effect of allowing the passing lane to hold two trains in one direction.
