Passenger movement has been completely stopped on both platforms, and all trains scheduled from these platforms have been diverted.

For the next four months, trains earlier departing from platforms 4 and 5 will operate from platforms 3 and 6. Passengers have been advised to check platform information in advance before arriving at the station.

Several long-distance trains have been diverted or partially cancelled due to the construction work:
