Morphology
The meaning 'to arrive at a station' is directly derivable from combining 'get' (to arrive/come) with 'in' (into an interior/location), i.e. arriving into a place. This verb + particle composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Get in can also picture a train or bus moving into a station: the vehicle gets itself in to the place. So 'to get in' here means 'to arrive'.
