Klaten Station (KT)[1] is a class I railway station located in Tonggalan, Central Klaten, Klaten Regency at an altitude of +151 meters, including in the Operation Area VI Yogyakarta. This station is close to the outer ring road of Klaten.
Most passenger trains passing the Solo–Yogyakarta route stop at this station. As of September 2020, passenger trains that pass directly or do not stop at this station are Argo Wilis, Gajayana, Bima, Turangga, Malabar, Mutiara Selatan and Sancaka (morning schedule for Yogyakarta and night schedule for Surabaya Gubeng).
To the east of this station, before the Ceper Station, there is a Ketandan Station which has been inactive since the Kutoarjo–Solo double tracks was operated.
Building and layout
Klaten Station has six train lines. At first, line 1 was a straight line. After the Srowot–Ketandandouble-track section was put into operation in 2001 and the Brambanan–Delanggu section on 15 December 2003, line 1 is a straight line towards Yogyakarta and line 2 is a straight line towards Solo.[4][5] However, there is a rail track that bends from the direction of Yogyakarta when approaching line 2 because there are remnants of the station platform from the NIS era which is quite wide. Tracks 5 and 6 leading to the warehouse have now been repaired and repurposed to accommodate parked trains.
To support double-track operation, the mechanical signaling system at this station was replaced with an electrical signaling system made by Len Industri which had been installed since 2013 and had only been operational since 12 February 2019.[6]
