ようこそ Ex - JR East Saikyo Line 205 Series! (Part 2)

          Happy New Year 2014! Hopefully this year will be better than before. All people in the world celebrate it with happiness. Everyone has their own resolution to improve their achievement from year to year. Indonesia Tetsudou Fan have to do improvement in purpose to give information about many things especially railway. Since 1 January 2014, written articles are in English only to make it easy to read than two-languages in single article.

          Back to the title, I will tell you about progress of Seri 205 EMU which bought from JR East. Based on last article, we only know about HaE 7, 11, 15 set. For your information, 100 of 180 cars has been arrived to Indonesia since October last year. Fortunately, I can see all of them in Depok Depot and Bukit Duri Depot. It's a long time since last visit 2 years ago, but nothing changed  at all.

         First, I visited Bukit Duri. It is as small as Bogor Depot. Although so, I can find two sets of Seri 205 in original decal stabling inside. These sets will be sent to Depok Depot for remodeling.

          In afternoon, I moved to Depok Depot after my friend got the permission to go inside. This is a rare thing since very hard to get permit. You need to spare your time so much for visiting Depok Depot. As the biggest EMU depot in Jabodetabek, you can't explore it quickly. I started to explore the maintenance area to see remodeling progress of Seri 205.

HaE 13 still in progress...

          The changes doesn't look significant, only livery change and add "Commuter" logo instead of JR. To anticipate low-level platform, they also install passenger footsteps. To protect the driver, window grill will be installed on both front and rear cabin. Livery change uses sticker in order to worktime efficiency eventhough it will be dirty in short time. However, the front side uses paint. Needed time also shorter since Seri 205 has it own cowhanger. In other words, they don't need to make the new one.

          Done with the remodeling, now we moves into stabling area. This is the place where the rollingstocks are stabled, even the non-active rollingstocks. I will talk about the non-active rollingstock later while the main topic still about Seri 205.

          I think all of these sets are still waiting for debut, because there are some infrastructure must be adapted due to 10-cars set. Some stastion has been extended their platform such as Universitas Indonesia Station and Jakarta Kota Station. Not only that, the crew also need adaptation with these new EMUs. It's only about time to see the newcomer from Saikyo Line. The story still continued till all of sets arrive.

Ex - Saikyo Line 205 Series HaE 11 & 15 Trial Run

          Kebutuhan armada yang mendesak membuat waktu setelah penurunan perdana hingga ujicoba rangkaian hanya memerlukan waktu kira-kira satu bulan saja. Tanggal 3-4 Desember 2013 menjadi momen perdana Seri 205 untuk "berpusing-pusing ria" di Jabodetabek. Rangkaian yang diujikan adalah HaE 15 (3/12) dan HaE 11 (4/12) yang lebih dulu tiba di Indonesia pada November lalu. Ujicoba ini bertujuan untuk menguji performansi dan hal-hal lain yang berhubungan dengan operasional rangkaian. Karena rangkaian ini akan dioperasikan dengan formasi 10 kereta per setnya, dalam ujicoba juga dilakukan pengukuran untuk penambahan panjang peron, khususnya untuk stasiun Jakarta kota sebagai stasiun tujuan akhir.

          Only in one month after first unloading of 205 Series to first trial run because of rollingstock needs. This moment was happened in 3-4 December 2013. Tested train consist of HaE 15 (3/12) and HaE 11 (4/12) which arrived from Niigata harbor since November. The trial run was held in purpose of testing performance and anything which related with operational. Because these sets will be used in 10-cars formation, some station platform especially Jakarta Kota as terminus station were measured.

          Sebagai informasi, ujicoba rangkaian yang baru datang dari luar negeri biasanya dilakukan dua kali. Ujicoba pertama untuk menguji peforma atau bisa dikatakan sebagai pra-sertifikasi. Selanjutnya untuk mendapatkan sertifikasi layak jalan dari Kementerian Perhubungan, dilakukan ujicoba kedua. Barulah rangkaian bisa dioperasikan secara penuh.

          As information, there are twice trial run of rollingstock for newcomer train. The purpose of first trial run is testing performance or we can call it as pre-sertification. To receive sertification from The Ministry of Transportation, second trial run must be held. Finally, the rollingstock can be fully operated.

ようこそ Ex - JR East Saikyo Line 205 Series! (Part 1)

          Setelah mengalami penundaan yang cukup lama, pengiriman  KRL Seri 205 akhirnya tiba di pelabuhan Tanjung Priok tanggal 3 November 2013. Proses bongkar muat baru dimulai sekitar pukul 16.00 dari jadwal seharusnya pukul 09.00. Walaupun begitu, kerjasama yang dilakukan kru dari dipo Bukit Duri berjalan dengan baik sehingga pekerjaan ini selesai pada Senin (4/11) siang. Jumlah kereta yang tiba dari pelabuhan Niigata sebanyak 30 unit dari total 180 unit. Pengiriman gelombang pertama terdiri dari HaE 7, HaE 11, dan HaE 15.

         After a long delay, the shipment of 205 Series EMU has been arrived in Tanjung Priok port in 3 November 2013. The unloading process started from 16.00 (GMT +7), it must be 09.00 based on the schedule. Although so, the good teamwork which done by Bukit Duri depot crew makes this job completed in Monday (4/11). There are 30 units from the total 180 units which arrived from Niigata port. The first wave consist of HaE 7, HaE 11, and HaE 15.

          KRL Seri 205 sebelumnya merupakan JR East Saikyo Line Seri 205 . Rangkaian ini diproduksi oleh Tokyu Sharyo, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Nippon Sharyo, dan Kinki Sharyo pada tahun 1985 hingga 1991. Rangkaian ini masih banyak dipakai di berbagai jalur di Jepang dengan beragam varian. Yang dikirim ke Indonesia adalah varian 205-0 yang merupakan varian pertama dari Seri 205. Sistem penggerak pada umumnya masih menggunakan sistem chopper, kecuali varian 205-5000 yang sudah menggunakan teknologi IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor).

          In past, 205 Series are belong to JR East Saikyo Line. These rollingstocks are produced by Tokyu Sharyo, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Nippon Sharyo, and Kinki Sharyou between 1985 until 1991. Until today, 205 Series still used in many lines in Japan with various types. The sets which sent to Indonesia are 205-0 variant which the first type of 205. The traction system still use chopper in general, except 205-5000 which already use IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor).

          Ada keunikan yang bisa kita temui pada rangkaian ini. Nama Saikyo merupakan penyingkatan dari Saitama dan Tokyo, karena jalur tersebut menghubungkan stasiun Osaki di Tokyo dan stasiun Omiya di prefektur Saitama. Selain itu, jumlah pintu di setiap sisi pada Seri 205 berbeda dari KRL yang sudah beroperasi di Jabotabek yang hanya memiliki 3 atau 4 pintu di tiap sisinya. Seri 205 memiliki 6 pintu di tiap sisinya pada T 204-X dan Tc 204-X. Ini membantu mobilitas naik turun penumpang di stasiun. Kapasitas penumpang di kereta ini juga dapat ditingkatkan dengan kursi yang bisa dilipat secara otomatis.

          There are some unique facts we can find in this sets. The Saikyo Line name is abbreviated from Saitama and Tokyo, because the line connects Osaki in Tokyo and Omiya in Saitama. Beside of that, the number of the door on each side is different compared by another EMU in Jabotabek which has only 3 or 4 doors. It has 6 doors on each side at T 204-X and Tc 204-X. It helps passengers mobility in station. The passenger capacity can be increased by folding the seat automatically.

          Pada kali ini ITF tak bisa melihat secara langsung proses bongkar muat. Namun, masih sempat melihat penarikan HaE 7 oleh KRD NR yang tiba di stasiun Manggarai. Rangkaian selanjutnya ditarik menuju dipo Bukit Duri menyusul HaE 15. HaE 11 sebelumnya sudah ditarik menuju Balai Yasa Manggarai. Seri 205 diharapkan siap beroperasi secepatnya untuk menggantikan sejumlah KRL yang sudah mengalami kerusakan akibat pengoperasian melebihi batas kemampuan.

          This time ITF couldn't see the unloading process directly, but still have a chance to see the transporting of HaE 7 by NR DMU which arrived in Manggarai station. Next, the sets are transported to Bukit Duri depot and join with HaE 15. HaE 11 is already transported to Balai Yasa Manggarai. These sets are expected to be ready for operation as soon as possible in purpose to substitute the damaged EMU which caused of overusage.
