Serayu is an economy-class train running twice a day between Purwokerto in Banyumas and Pasar Senen in Central Jakarta via South Java railway line. The train was previously known as Cepat Sidareja, Cipuja, and Citrajaya. The name Serayu is derived from the Serayu River, which the train crosses twice on its journey.

History

Opening

Initially called Cepat Sidareja at its inauguration in 1985, the morning train was later renamed to Cipuja, while its night train counterpart was named Citrajaya and the route was extended to Cilacap and Jakarta. The train Galuh called at stations on this route which were skipped by both Cipuja and Citrajaya.

Rebranding, extention and additional stop stations

In the early 2000s, Cipuja and Citrajaya were rebranded to Serayu and thirteen years later (in 2013) the route was extended to Purwokerto and adding stopping stations, namely Cikarang (since 1 March 2022) and Kebasen (since 18 December 2024).[1]

Route

The Serayu train runs four times daily, twice per direction, following the route.
