On the Zug side there are three sidings, which are rarely used, and a former siding from the OVA site. The old station with its two platform tracks was completely rebuilt in 2001. The level crossing at the OVA site was abolished and replaced by a bicycle and passenger underpass. The station received a third platform track and all buildings were replaced. The station forecourt was rebuilt and a bus station was built. The integrated bus terminal has eight stops for the provisional six bus routes to the region as well as to Cham, Zürich, Muri and Thalwil. In September 2002, the current station was inaugurated with a festival.
