Andong Station to Relocate to Songhyeon-dong on the 17th... Adjustment of Jungang Line Local Train Operations

Operation of Shuttle Buses and Connecting Trains

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] On the 17th, Andong Station in Andong-si, Gyeongbuk, will be relocated from Unheung-dong to Songhyeon-dong. Along with this, the operation line between Danyang Dodam and Yeongju on the double-track railway construction section of the Jungang Line connecting Seoul Cheongnyangni and Gyeongbuk Yeongcheon will be changed to the new railway from the 14th, and it will be opened to Andong on the 17th.

According to Andong City on the 14th, trains will operate using only the single track (down line) among the newly established double tracks due to this operation line change. By the end of December, the Seowonju?Jecheon section will be opened as a double track, and by around October next year, when the Yeongju?Punggi section is completed, double-track operation is expected to be possible.

The KTX (EMU260), currently undergoing test runs, will be deployed in January next year, reducing the travel time from Andong to Cheongnyangni to 2 hours and 10 minutes.

Due to this operation line change, some trains will operate only on the Cheongnyangni?Jecheon section on the 13th and 14th, and shuttle buses will operate on the Jecheon?Andong section. On the 16th and 17th, trains will operate only on the Cheongnyangni?Yeongju section, and shuttle buses and connecting trains will operate on the Yeongju?Andong section.

From the 18th onward until the deployment of the KTX (EMU260), trains will operate only on the Cheongnyangni?Yeongju section. Therefore, passengers must use connecting trains on the Yeongju?Andong section.

An official from Andong City said, "Due to the change in operation lines, the operation times and sections of existing trains have changed. We hope railway passengers check the notices on Let's Korail or the Andong City website to avoid any confusion when using the railway."
