It was previously a station on the Haydarpaşa suburban and the Haydarpaşa-Adapazarı Regional until 2013, when all train service east of Pendik was suspended. The new station consists of one island platform serving two local tracks with a third express track on the south side as well as a siding.
context_section_description: Tuzla station was originally built in 1873 by the Ottoman government as part of a railway from Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) to İzmit. The station (along with the railway) was sold to the Ottoman Anatolian Railway in 1888 and taken over by the Turkish State Railways in 1927. The station was rebuilt and expanded in 1949 and electric commuter train service was introduced in 1969. Tuzla station was closed down in 2013 for the rehabilitation of the railway in anticipation of Marmaray and YHT high-speed rail service. Construction of a 7.9 km (4.9 mi) long extension of the M4 begun in March 2017. The line is expected to open by 2020 and will offer a direct connection to Tuzla station.
