Kedung Sepur (or Kedungsepur) is a commuter rail line in Central Java, Indonesia operated by Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), serving Semarang Poncol Station (in Semarang)–Ngrombo Station (in Grobogan Regency) route and vice versa. The service name is taken from initials of cities and regencies forming Semarang metropolitan area: Kendal, Demak, Ungaran, Salatiga, Semarang, and Purwodadi.
This train service operates using MCW 302 Series Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) made by Nippon Sharyo which is planned for the operation of Kualanamu Airport Rail Link Services. However, this plan was canceled because Kualanamu Airport Rail Link Services was already operating using a new DMU made by Woojin from South Korea which arrived in North Sumatra at the same time.
History
[edit]Kedung Sepur was first operated on 28 September 2014 coincide with the anniversary of KAI, serving Weleri Station to Gubug.[1] Due to the lack of enthusiasts at the time, the service was moved to Semarang Poncol-Ngrombo route starting on 1 February 2015.[2]
