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.

The overcapping roof that covers all the tracks at this station has been replaced with a new one and is bigger in size.

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.

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.
