Malang Station is a railway station in Malang City, East Java.^[2] The station is located at an altitude of approximately +444 meters amsl. It is the largest train station in Malang City. The existing building of Malang station was built in 1941 based on the work of J. van der Eb. The station is sometimes referred to as Malang Kotabaru Station to distinguish it from the original 1879 building of Malang station (not Malang Kotalama Station).^[3]^[4]

History

Malang station was built along with the pioneering of the Surabaya–Malang–Pasuruan railway construction in circa 1870 to transport crops and plantation products from the rural areas of East Java. The conssesion of the railway construction issued five years later, and officialy opened on 20 July 1879.^[4]

The original building was on the east side, from where the building is now. It was demolished in circa 1930 by Staatsspoorwegen because that building was considered to be unable to accommodate the increasing number of passengers, a new, larger building was made on the west side, designed by W.J. van der Eb.^[5]

On April 2018, Kereta Api Indonesia and the Malang City Goverment unveiled the revitalization plan for the Malang station complex, in order to accommodate the incrase of passenger number.^[6]^[7] The first work was the rearrangement of the parking lot. The groundbreaking ceremony of the new building of Malang station on the east side was conducted on 24 September 2019 by the Mayor of Malang, Sutiaji.^[8] The train depot at Malang station were gradually moved to Malang Kotalama station.

The new building was opened on 10 May 2021,^[9] and only serves inter-city train departures and arrivals. Local commuter train services are served by the old building on the west side.^[10] This concept has already implemented on Surabaya Gubeng and Bandung stations.

Building and layout

Malang station has a pedestrian tunnel to connect each platforms. The tunnel was accidentally built as a protection bunker with strong steel doors to avoid bomb strikes during a war.^[5]^[11]

The new building of Malang station is designed larger than the old one, with capacity up to approximately 2500 passenger.^[9] It also have a passenger alightment zone which is not available on the old building. The building's zig-zag roof is designed for maximum air flows, and it is also inspired by Mount Putri Tidur, a mountain located between Malang Regency and Batu City.
