Service to the station has been suspended entirely since March 2020 due to poor usage combined with the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Since 2021, the whole rail section between Beit Shemesh railway station and Jerusalem is inoperative until either a replacement is found for the decommissioned IC3 trains, or the line undergoes a massive renovation.
