Features
The station has a passenger building arranged on multiple levels. It houses the ticket office, waiting room, a kiosk, a restaurant and the headquarters of the Railway Police.
The station is attended, and therefore has a room for the management of train movements.
In the station yard are three through tracks used for passenger services. These tracks are served by two platforms and connected by a pedestrian underpass.
There are other tracks passing through the goods yard, which is equipped with a detached workshop. The station also has a goods shed and locomotive depot.
