As part of the extension of Route 531 westwards, the rail tracks currently terminating at the station will be extended all the way to the Coastal Railway by 2017, at which point the station will cease being a terminal station. This connection will provide a shorter alternative route from the station to Tel Aviv and also enable the possibility of trains passing through the station reaching northern destinations (such as Netanya and Haifa) on the rail network.
