The station was opened on October 3, 1981, and consists of one island platform with two rail tracks. On the surface interchange to Tram lines 701 and 705 is possible.

In 2003, a 50-year-old man drove his car into the entrance of the station on street level (without going all the way in) when he thought it was entrance to a car park.[1] Likewise, in 2007, a 52-year-old woman drove her car into the entrance staircase, also thinking it would lead to a car park.[1]
