It was during this period, in anticipation of the line's extension to , that the track yard was expanded. On 6 January 1948, the double-tracking of the line between and Torre Annunziata came into operation. In the same year, as part of the aforementioned works, the new station building was inaugurated. During the 1970s, further modernisation took place, including the raising of the platforms. In the 1990s, track renewal works were carried out, including the replacement of bridges over the A3 motorway and the double-tracking of the section between Torre Annunziata and Pompei Scavi. During this period, the station was renamed Torre Annunziata Oplonti-Villa di Poppea, in reference to its proximity to the Oplontis archaeological site. == Station layout ==
