Opened on 2 March 1872, Lempuyangan Station is used for passengers and local freight. The station has signage with travel information: train capacity and route details, such as the distance between stations. A screen displays train arrivals and departures, similar to an airport.
History
editLempuyangan Station was inaugurated on 2 March 1872 by the Dutch East Indies private railway company, Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij (NIS) as the end point of the Semarang–Solo–Yogyakarta cross-rail line and is the first and oldest train station in Yogyakarta. The construction of this station was motivated by the policy of transporting sugar by using the railroad mode of transportation—in the 1870s many sugar industries had sprung up in Yogyakarta, which were entirely managed by the Dutch. The presence of this station contributed to the development of the people of Yogyakarta at that time.[2][3]
This station has long been used as the departure station for economy class trains from Yogyakarta, in contrast to other stations in Java which generally serve economy series stops after the policy of separating station services for economy and non-economy train passengers.[when?] When all other economy trains were still departing from Yogyakarta Tugu Station, this station was already the terminal station for the Empu Jaya train bound for Jakarta Pasar Senen (now Progo) and the Argopuro train bound for Banyuwangi (now Sri Tanjung).
Building and layout
editLempuyangan Station has eleven train tracks. Originally only line 4 was a straight track. After the construction of the Surakarta–Yogyakarta double track section was completed on 8 January 2007,[4] track 3 was also used as a straight track. To the north of track 5 is a spur to the Yogyakarta Warehousing and Logistics Center (formerly the NIS roundhouse) and Yogyakarta railway workshop which is the largest train workshop in Java. The station has been equipped with signages, track directions accompanied by distance traveled, and screens to monitor train departures and arrivals in real time.
In 2009, the station underwent overall repairs by adding a new building east of the old building.[5]
In mid-2017, the station area underwent another renovation. The An-Nuur Mosque, located west of the station building, was opened to the general public, while the prayer room located to the east is only used for passengers who have boarded or have not yet left. Expansion was also carried out in the parking lot and the extension of the station canopy roof.[6] In 2018–2019, the An-Nuur Mosque was demolished to make other facilities. Since March 2020, the vacant land located on the west side of Lempuyangan Station has been developed into a RailExpress warehouse (now KAI Logistik Ekspres).[7]
Regarding the project to upgrade the train's electrical signaling system at the station, a new electric system produced by Len Industri as of April 2021 has been installed which will replace the old system produced by Siemens.[8] It has been active since September 2021.[citation needed]

Incidents
edit- On 19 February 2007, there was a small tornado that hit Yogyakarta which resulted in the canopy of Lempuyangan Station being badly damaged. Even so, communication via train automatic telephone and walkie talkies continued normally and there were no interruptions to train travel.[10]
- On 20 October 2016, a foreign tourist at Lempuyangan Station was killed by a Joglokerto train that was about to stop on line 1. It was not clear if this was an accident or suicide. According to the officer's statement, the tourist walked towards the rails when the train was about to pass. Other people tried to stop her, but were unable to do so.[11]
