History
Duri Station was originally a small train stop opened on 2 January 1899 by the State Railway Company, Staatssporwegen (SS). It was built in conjunction with the planned operation of the Jakarta-Angke-Rangkasbitung railway line. There is a branch to Tangerang along 23 km with a track width of 1067 mm. Then in the same year, on 1 October, the SS inaugurated the 76 km Duri-Rangkasbitung railway line. Then forwarded to Serang and Anyer in 1900. Previously, from the south of line 1 there was a 2.5 km branch to the PGN Gas Factory owned by the Nederlandsch Indische Gasmaatschappij (NIGM) to serve gas transportation. However, currently those branches are no longer operational. This factory was built in 1859 which is located on the north side of Gang Ketapang which is now Jalan K.H. Zainul Arifin. The location of this former gas factory is now used as the headquarters of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. The former rails and intersections of this line are no longer visible because they are buried in asphalt.
The Duri Station building was overhauled in 2017–2018 and now has two floors with elevators and escalators considering this station is one of the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Rail Link stations. The previous Staatsspoorwegen-era building has been torn down for the new building's construction. Starting from 26 December 2017, the Soekarno–Hatta Airport Rail Link service make a stop here.

Platform number 1 and 2 serves Cikarang Loop Line, platform 3 and 4 serves as a stop for Soekarno–Hatta Airport Rail Link, and platform number 5 serves as both starting point and terminus for Tangerang Line.
