From this station there is a branch to Nambo Station which is 12.6 km long. The line was originally created to make a loopline from Parung Panjang Station to Sungai Lagoa Station id via Cikarang Station. However, due to the financial crisis and fall of President Soeharto in 1998, the line was idle.
After two years, PT Kereta Api operates Manggarai–Nambo diesel multiple unit route. Unfortunately, due to outdated trains and low occupancy, the line was closed in 2006. Since 1 April 2015, the branch line to Nambo has started serving the KRL Commuterline. To the north of this station, before Depok Station, there used to be the Pondok Terong railway stop which is no longer active due to minimal occupancy and also due to the construction of the Jakarta–Bogor double track.
Since 25 March 2021 this station along with Bekasi, Tanah Abang, Kranji, Jakarta Kota, Depok, Depok Baru, Bojong Gede, Parung Panjang, and Angke stations officially ceased the sale of single-trip cards for KRL Commuterline services.
