Kebumen Station (KM) is a large class type C railway station located in Panjer, Kebumen, Kebumen Regency, the railway station is included in the Operational Area V Purwokerto and is located at an altitude of +21 meters. As the main station in Kebumen Regency and located near the administrative center of Kebumen Regency, most trains passing on the southern route of Java stop at this station.

To the northwest of this station, before Sruweng Station, there is Soka Station which has been inactive since the double tracks was operated.

Building and layout

Kebumen Station has five train lines. At first, line 2 was a straight line. Lines 4 and 5 were dismantled in 2014 because they still used small rails and were rarely used. After the double track was operated from this station to Wonosari Station as of 14 December 2019 and then following the completion of the rebuilding of the Renville Bridge as of 5 May 2020, the emplacement of this station was slightly overhauled and extended to the southeast. Line 2 was used as a straight track towards Kroya only, line 3 was used as a straight track towards Kutoarjo, and lines 4 and 5 were completely rebuilt. The overcapping roof that covers all the tracks at this station has been replaced with a new one and is bigger in size. The station platform has also been extended and raised so that it can accommodate long series of trains and makes it easier for passengers to get on and off the platform. The old station building has been preserved because some of the buildings, such as the blinds window in front of the station, are still original.[4][5] In addition, the old electric signaling produced by Westinghouse Rail Systems which has been in operation since 1999 has been replaced with the newest one produced by PT Len Industri.

In the past, line 5 was connected to the weigh bridge to the east of the emplacement, which is now a cultural heritage site. Here there was also a rail branch to the Luk Ulo River which was previously used for sand transport services, but this line has long been decommissioned.[6]

Since the double track was put into operation, this station now has a unique feature on its track diagram, namely the existence of a switch point which is almost two kilometers to the northwest of the station. The rail switch was deliberately placed quite far from the station because there was a large bend that resembled the letter S and also the Renville Bridge which spanned the river.
