Renovation
The terminal went through a renovation from 2008 to September 2014. The project included modernizing the rail infrastructure and platforms, as well as building a new passenger area, shops, and a 500-place underground car park, in addition to of office space. ONCF's total investment is around 100 million MAD. During the renovation, access to the platforms was via a temporary passenger building on the Boulevard Moulay Abderrahmane. Boarding and alighting points were moved to allow train movements without interruption to other traffic. After the works are complete, the station will comprise 8 tracks with 5 platforms and have a capacity of 20 trains per hour (t.p.h.), handling 10,000 passengers a day. The trickiest part of the construction was new underground levels in unstable soil, close to the sea – in 2010 the whole site was flooded – and the contractor's failure, which meant re-tendering to a wider market of larger contractors.{{cite news Despite multiple delays in the construction project, the brand new railway station was inaugurated on 25 September 2014 in the presence of King Mohammed VI. == Local transport ==

The station is accessible by taxi. A station on Casablanca Tramway Line 1 is about away, in the Place des Nations Unies, and the terminus of Line 3 is located a few meters away from its gate. == References ==
