Initially, the station likely had four rail lines with line 2 being a straight line. Since the operation of the double track Yogyakarta–Solo segment of the Srowot–Ketandan segment in 2001 and the Brambanan–Delanggu segment were completed on 15 December 2003, line 2 has been used as a straight line towards Yogyakarta. As of 2005–2006, line 3 of these stations has completely become a straight line towards Solo.

To support the double tracks operation, the mechanical signaling system at this station was replaced with an electric signaling system made by PT Len Industri which had been installed since 2013 and then started operation in December 2015.

Starting 10 February 2021, to coincide with the launch of the 2021 train travel chart, this station together with three other stations (Ceper Station, Gawok Station, and Srowot Station) began serving KRL Commuterline across Yogyakarta–Solo.
