Building and layout

Initially, Wates Station had four railway tracks with line 1 being a straight track. 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. 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.
