Building and layout
Wates station yard after the canopy was installed, 2019

Initially, Wates Station had four railway tracks with line 1 being a straight track.[2] Since double-track line between Yogyakarta and Kutoarjo began operation in 2006–2007, track 1 is used as a straight track towards Yogyakarta, track 2 is used as a straight track towards Kutoarjo, tracks 3 and 4 is used for train stops, and track 5 as a new track which is often used only for parking or loading and unloading of ballast stone transport.[3][4] The station layout thus was also changed.

The station has now been fitted with a canopy in its platform to protect passengers. Canopy installation was also carried out at Jenar Station.[5][6]
