[CZ] Devatenácté století bylo dobou velkého rozvoje dopravy. V roce 1830 zde zahájila provoz konesprežní dráha z Prahy do Kladna a pozdeji také do Lán. V roce 1863 byla tato trat prestavena na parní provoz a od roku 1870 je provozována trat z Hostivice do Prahy-Smíchova. Soucasná nádražní budova pochází z doby kolem roku 1871. Aktuální vzhled budovy nádraží a jejího okolí je dílem rekonstrukce z roku 2011.

In 1863 this track was rebuilt into steam operation and from 1870 the track from Hostivice to Prague-Smíchov was run. The present railway station dates from around 1871. The current look of the railway station and its surroundings is a part of the 2011 reconstruction.
