History

Duri Station was originally a small train stop opened on 2 January 1899 by the State Railway Company, Staatssporwegen (SS). It was built in conjunction with the planned operation of the Jakarta-Angke-Rangkasbitung railway line. There is a branch to Tangerang along 23 km with a track width of 1067 mm. Then in the same year, on 1 October, the SS inaugurated the 76 km Duri-Rangkasbitung railway line. Then forwarded to Serang and Anyer in 1900. Previously, from the north of line 1 there was a 2.5 km branch to the PGN Gas Factory owned by the Nederlandsch Indische Gasmaatschappij (NIGM) to serve gas transportation. However, currently those branches are no longer operational. This factory was built in 1859 which is located on the north side of Gang Ketapang which is now Jalan K.H. Zainul Arifin. The location of this former gas factory is now used as the headquarters of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. The former rails and intersections of this line are no longer visible because they are buried in asphalt.

Building and layout

This station has five railway lines. Line 1 is used as a turnstile for the Yellow Line KRL in the direction of Angke and Jatinegara, while line 2 is a straight line in the direction of Tanah Abang, Depok, Nambo and Bogor. Lines 3 and 4 are the stops for the Soekarno–Hatta Airport Rail Link heading for Sudirman Baru and Soekarno-Hatta and Line 5 is the terminus line for the Tangerang Line heading for Tangerang.

The Duri Station building was overhauled in 2017–2018 and now has two floors with elevators and escalators considering this station is one of the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Rail Link stations. The previous station building which was a legacy of the Staatsspoorwegen has been torn down due to the impact of the construction of the new station building.

On 8 September 2022, the access to the west gate of Duri Station which is connected to Jalan Kalianyar X has been operating for entry and exit of passengers.
