From 2003 to 2021, this station was the eastern terminus of the line. The station became an intermediate station when the LRT-2 East Extension opened on July 5, 2021.[1] This station currently serves as the eleventh station for trains headed to Antipolo and the third station for trains headed to Recto. The Santolan Depot, where the trains of the line are cleaned and maintained, is also near the station, as well as the line's Operations Control Center (OCC), all are located in Pasig.
This is the only station on this line with an island platform.
Santolan station was temporarily closed due to a fire on October 3, 2019 which affected two rectifiers along the line: one between Katipunan and Anonas stations, and the other in the Santolan Depot.[2] The station was reopened on January 22, 2021 after repairs to the rectifiers were completed.[3]
