[1] In 1935, an office building named Beit Hadar (in Hebrew, the "Citrus House"), the first steel frame structure in Tel Aviv, was built next to the station by architect Carl Rubin.

[2] During the 1947–1949 Palestine war service on the Jaffa–Jerusalem railway was suspended and only resumed on August 7, 1949 following the signing of the 1949 Armistice Agreement with Jordan.

Although the new station was quite spacious, with a large indoor passenger concourse, 4 platforms and additional sidings, it had only 16 rail services per day when it opened (8 in each direction).

In 1993, as part of the Ayalon Highway project the railway lines in the Tel Aviv area were re-aligned.

Previously, all rail traffic from the north of the country to and from the south had to bypass the entire Tel Aviv metropolitan area from the east.
