The station was extensively renovated in 2000. In 2009 it engaged into large excavation work for better accessibility to disabled passengers, including new elevators.

For more than two years the ticket offices were relocated in a shelter at street level; all new accesses for disabled passengers were opened in 2019.

On 14 December 1918, a train carrying United States President Woodrow Wilson and his entourage pulled into the station.
