Kahuripan is an economy class train that serves the Kiaracondong-Blitar route via the southern railway lines of Java Island.

The name of this train comes from a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom that was established in East Java in the 11th century precisely in 1009 called Kahuripan, which was founded by Airlangga as a continuation of the Medang Kingdom which collapsed three years earlier.[1]

Changes in Operational Pattern

This train first operated on the Kediri-Pasar Senen route via Kiaracondong before changing before changing its terminus station to Padalarang and since 2013 the route has been cut again to Kiaracondong although four years later it was extended to Blitar.[2]

Since 1 December 2019, this train has changed operators from Operational Area VII Madiun to Operational Area II Bandung to exchange train sets with the Pasundan train so that the train sets were transferred to the Bandung Train Depot.[3]

Recent period

Based on the latest schedule, this train adds a stop at Leles from both Blitar and Kiaracondong directions since 1 June 2023.[4]
