Building and layout

The station building which was previously on the east side of the rail, is now on the west side of the rail. There is no longer any former old building which is a legacy of the DKA (Djawatan Kereta Api) because it was demolished for the Kutoarjo–Yogyakarta–Purwosari double tracks project in 2007 and now only leaves the foundation.

This station has four train lines.^[4] Initially, the old Line 1 was a straight line. Since the operation of the double track Delanggu–Solo segment as of January 2007, the station layout has changed. The old line 2 of this station was changed to line 3 as a straight line towards Yogyakarta, while the old line 1 was changed to line 4 as a straight line towards Solo.^[5][6]

Gawok Station circa 1920s.

Since the electric signaling system made by PT Len Industri was installed in 2013^[7] which was only operated on to replace the mechanical signaling system at this station in December 2015,^[8] the track layout at this station has been changed again, but has not changed the number of lines. Line 2, which used to be the old line 3, has been dismantled and a new turning lane is built on the southeast side of the station so that line 3 is now used as a new line 2, line 4 old is now used as line 3 new, and the new line is used as a new line 4, Finally , this station has straight tracks on lines 2 and 3.

Starting 10 February 2021, to coincide with the launch of the 2021 train travel chart, this station together with three other stations (Delanggu Station, Ceper Station, and Srowot Station) began serving KRL Commuterline between Yogyakarta–Solo Balapan.^[9]
