History

The station was built between 1900 and 1902 according to a design by Czesław Domaniewski on the broad gauge Warsaw–Kalisz Railway. In 1914 the line rebuilt to standard gauge and in 1916, the line became double track. The section from Błonie to Sochaczew was electrified in 1959 and in 1961 the next section to Kutno was electrified. The electrification of the E20 line was completed in 1988. In 1992 the modernisation of the section Warsaw - Poznan started, with the task to adapt the E20 route to a driving speed of 160 km/h. On the section Sochaczew - Łowicz permissible maximum speed is 120 km/h and on the section Błonie - Sochaczew - 160 km/h.

Modernisation

In October 2015 renovation of the station, including the renovation of the main entrance and the replacement of windows and doors throughout the building was started.
