History

The Jaka Tingkir train was first time operate by KAI on 8 December 2013 with terminus at Solo Jebres.

The Jaka Tingkir train was launched to assist the operation of the Progo, Gajahwong, Bogowonto, and Mataram Premium which share the same track. At the beginning of its operation, this train only served certain service routes—for example, this train served from Solo Purwosari to Pasar Senen on Monday and served the opposite route on Tuesday. Since it received train sets made by PT INKA, this train can operate every day.

Since 1 December 2018, the service route of this train was shortened so that it only served the Yogyakarta Lempuyangan–Pasar Senen route—because some of the train sets had been used for the full operation of the Joglosemarkerto and Kamandaka lines. [2] Cross-services were changed to their original state starting 1 December 2019, in line with the implementation of the enactment of new train travel chart 2019. [3]

The Jaka Tingkir train is planned to operate using a premium economy train set made of stainless steel. The Jaka Tingkir train travel schedule from Solo Purwosari Station departs at 23.45 and will arrive at Pasar Senen Station at 08.37 but the Jaka Tingkir train journey returned to using the old schedule for 7.5 years, in December 2014, namely 12.50 departing from Pasar Senen Station and arriving at Solo Purwosari Station at 21.28 local time.
