==History==
{{Expand section|date=April 2012}}

==Further extension==
A Final Location Survey for 7.54 km-long Madhupur bypass line was sanctioned in February 2020 after construction of which trains from {{stnlnk|Jasidih}} can run up to {{stnlnk|Giridih}} and {{stnlnk|Koderma}} without loco reversal at Madhupur. A delay of more than 30 minutes for an engine change at Madhupur will thus be avoided. The estimated cost of the linking project is Rs 281 crore.

== Facilities ==
The major facilities available are waiting rooms, computerized reservation facility, reservation counter, and two-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicle parking.<ref name=computerized_list>{{cite web|title=List of Locations (Irrespective Of States) Where Computerized Reservation Facilities Are Available |url=http://www.indianrail.gov.in/location_Alphabetically.html |publisher=Official website of the [[Indian Railways]] |access-date=18 April 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130703033000/http://www.indianrail.gov.in/location_Alphabetically.html |archive-date= 3 July 2013 }}</ref> The vehicles are allowed to enter the station premises.
