History

edit

Kotabumi Station was inaugurated on 2 January 1921, along with the inauguration of the Blambangan Pagar–Kotabumi railway segment, as part of the construction of the KertapatiPanjang railway line.[2]

Building and layout

edit

The station has three lines and three platforms, with the Line 2 being the straight line. The station used to have fourth line, but it was dismantled. There's a small disused locomotive shed to the northwest of the station. The station's facility includes waiting room, lactation room, clinic, ticket counter, toilet, musalla and parking space.

All passenger trains serving the KertapatiTanjung Karang route stopped at this station to pick up and drop off passengers. With the completion of Cempaka–Kotabumi double track project on 9 December 2020,[3] all freight trains are required to stop at the station for 2-5 minutes with the enactment of the 2021 southern Sumatra train schedule. It was done for safety purpose as the track is transitioning from single track to double track at Kotabumi station.
