Since most of the Jakarta–Bandung cross trains operate via the Cikampek–Padalarang railway, the number of tracks at this station is reduced to three due to lack of traffic.

The stations on this line were also briefly reactivated to welcome the Kian Santang train which was planned to operate in March 2014, but the planned regular trips were canceled in 2015 due to technical problems with the infrastructure which was considered unfit for operation.

[5][6][7] The Directorate General of Railways of the Ministry of Transportation then decided to repair the Cianjur–Padalarang railroad line, the repairs included replacing the sleepers which were originally iron with concrete and replacing the rail rods which were originally 33/42 kg/m (R33/R42) to 54 kg/meter (R54) so that can be traversed by large and heavy locomotives.

Cianjur Station used to serve the Cianjuran train to fill the Bandung-Bogor route.

However, the operation of the train was stopped in 2013 due to the unavailability of spare parts for diesel-hydraulic locomotives and subsidies from the Government through the Ministry of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia.
