When the old cargo platform was destroyed in 1976, the station gained a partial roof and an inside ticket and service kiosk. As automated ticketing machines proliferated in stations starting in 1980, smaller municipal stations like Zaandijk Zaanse Schans gradually phased out their use of ticket and service kiosks. Following the closure of the stations kiosk, it was left with minimal care and no facilities and was in need of modernisation and renovation. The station finished renovations in 2016, making it more accessible for people with disabilities. Three elevators have been installed, as well as disability-friendly toilets and special slopes to get in and out of trains. The waiting room has been redone, is heated and contains a minor food and gift shop. Train tickets are only available from ticket machines on the platform.[1][2]
