History
Jāņavārti Station was opened in 1935 as a railway station for the Riga - Ērgļi Railway. Passenger trains of the Riga - Daugavpils Railway started in 1957.[2] Near the station is a pedestrian bridge, which has been closed since 2003, because of its poor technical condition.[3] The platform of the Riga - Ērgļi Railway has remained, although passenger trains have not run there since 2007.
