History
Shin-Matsuda Station (新松田駅) opened on 1 April 1927 as a stop for direct (through) services. On 15 October 1927 express services were set up, and the station became a stop for them. In November 1944 express services were suspended as the war situation worsened.
In June 1945 local trains, which had run only between Shinjuku and Inadanoboru, began running the full line, and the station became a stop for them. On 1 October 1946 semi-express services began and stopped here. On 1 October 1949 express services were revived and stopped here. On 25 March 1955 commuter express services were set up, and the station became a stop for them. On 1 October 1955 a connecting line was completed on the north side of the station, to Matsuda Station on the Gotemba Line. On 25 March 1960 commuter semi-express services were set up, and the station became a stop for them.
From 1966 the Romancecar limited express Sagami stopped here. On 5 March 1980 the new station building was completed. The first station building was moved to Mukogaoka-yuen, where it became the building of the Railway Museum.
On 23 March 2002 splitting and joining of express trains began here, and more such services were added at each timetable change after that. On 11 December 2004 rapid express and section semi-express trains were set up, and they stopped here. West of here, except at Odawara, platforms could take only six cars, so section semi-express and local trains of eight cars did not run beyond this station. On 15 March 2008 splitting and joining ended, except for some trains, and the semi-express ran only to here. On 17 March 2012 splitting and joining with general trains here and at Ebina ended, and section semi-express through running ended.
On 17 March 2018, together with Mukogaoka-yuen, the station was removed from the Romancecar stops. All limited express trains now pass through. Semi-express trains no longer ran here, and the down local trains that started here and ran directly onto the Hakone Tozan Line also ended.
