Karawang HSR Station is a large class A-type high-speed railway station located in Wanakerta, Karawang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The station only serves the Jakarta–Bandung Whoosh high-speed rail route.[2]
Karawang Station began to serve passengers of the Whoosh high-speed rail since 24 December 2024, more than a year after the HSR line was commenced in October 2023.[3] The delayed opening was caused by the unavailability of its direct road access from the Jakarta–Cikampek Toll Road regarding to land acquisitions.[4] However, the station was opened when the direct access is still not constructed yet.
Station layout
[edit]This station has four tracks with two straight tracks which are only used for direct overtake and two turning tracks which are equipped with side platforms. Apart from the four main lines for train services, this station also has a depot for storing comprehensive inspection trains (EMU-CIT) and ballast stone trains to the south of the emplacement.
