Refurbishment work of the station started in 2002, and new facilities such as a group waiting area and new ticket gates were introduced.

Starting from the 6th of February 2023, the MTR resumed Cross-Border Travel with the Mainland at Luohu Port, with train frequencies ranging from four to eight minutes.

The other track serves intercity through train services which do not stop at this station and continues northward across the border into mainland China.

Trains entering the station will first open doors facing the island platform to allow passengers to alight.

Located inside the paid area of the arrivals concourse (L2) are two separate passageways providing access to escalators, lifts, and stairs to one of the two side platforms (1 and 4).

Large glass sliding doors ahead of each passageway begin automatically closing around 5 minutes before the train is set to depart the station.
