Building and layout

Jombang Station initially had nine train lines with line 2 being a straight line, but only lines 1–3 were used frequently. After double track operated from this station to Baron as of 30 October 2019^[3][4] and then until Mojokerto as of 26 October 2020,^[5] the track layout was changed. The old line 4 has been dismantled to expand the middle platform, leaving only eight lanes. Line 2 is used as a straight line in the Kertosono direction, line 3 is used as a straight line for Wonokromo, and the old line 8 which was previously a turning line is changed to the new line 7 as a badug track. In addition, a new canopy was added to cover the new line 4 and the old electric signaling system (Ansaldo type) has been replaced with the latest electric signaling produced by PT Len Industri.

This station is equipped with a waiting room (there is an executive waiting room) and a platform that is high enough to make it easier for passengers to get on and off the train.

From this station, there used to be a fork to the north from line 1 to Ploso – Babat and from the old line 5 to Kediri via Pare.
