Gambir Station (Indonesia: Stasiun Gambir, station code: GMR) is a major railway station in Gambir, Central Jakarta, Indonesia. It is located on the eastern side of Merdeka. It was built during the Dutch East Indian era and renovated in the 1990s.
Gambir Station serves as a terminus for most intercity trains operating across Java Island. Two of Jakarta's main commuter lines, the KRL Jabodetabek Blue Line (to Bekasi) and Red Line (to Bogor) pass through this station, but do not stop here. Only executive and business class trains use Gambir Station, while all economy class trains and some executive and business class trains use Pasar Senen Trainstation instead.
On 16 September 1871, the Netherlands Indies Railway Company opened its first railway service in Batavia. At its opening, the line stretched from near the old Sunda Kelapa port and south to what is now Gambir area. For Gambir, a small railway stop(halte Koningsplein) was situated on the southeast border of the Koningsplein. This stop was the southernmost stop of Batavia until 1873, when the line was extended to Meester Cornelis and Buitenzorg.
In 1884 a larger station was opened to replace the smaller halte Koningsplein. The new station was built in what is now the location of Gambir Station. The station, named Station Weltevreden, was designed in neoclasical style popular in the 19th-century. The station was significantly extended in 1971.
In 1928 this station was renovated in Art Deco style. In 1937 the name Weltevreden station was changed to Batavia Koningsplein Station and after Indonesian independence the name was changed to Jakarta Gambir Station. In 1992, the station was renovated into the current joglo architectural style with a lime-green ceramic facade.

Sampai stasiun kereta pukul setengah dua, tanya loket dan penjaga, kereta tiba pukul berapa? biasanya kereta terlambat 2 jam sudah biasa.
penggalan lirik lagu Bang Iwan Fals, selalu terlantumkan ketika ada di stasiun, tetapi itu jaman dulu, ketika carut marut infrastruktur transportasi kereta masih ruwet. Sekarang penggalan lirik lagunya Bang Iwan sudah tidak laku lagi, karena kereta di sini sudah bagus, baik sistem hardware , sofware dan manusia nya.
amin
