Along with the development of infrastructure development in Lampung Province and South Sumatra Province, the planning and design of a building must be done carefully and well, one of them is by building a double track between Giham - Martapura, South Sumatra because the application of one track has many obstacles. It is hoped that the addition of the double track can make the train schedule more timely and can improve the quality of the trip.
