Gyeongnam Province, Increased KTX Trains on Gyeongjeon Line, Reduced Train Operation Intervals

KTX Operation Expansion Shortens Train Intervals
Improving Resident Convenience by Solving Seat Shortages

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 9th that the number of KTX trains and seats on the Gyeongjeon Line will increase from August 1st, with two additional double-unit train operations.

Despite the Gyeongjeon Line KTX being increased by 4 runs on weekends since 2019, there was still a shortage of seats.

Accordingly, the province decided to expand the number of KTX operations on the Gyeongjeon Line to 28 runs on weekdays from 24, and 34 runs on weekends from 32, with 4 additional runs on weekdays.

Additionally, the upbound trains (Jinju Station → Seoul Station) departing at 11:24 and 20:05 will operate as double-unit trains, doubling the seat supply.

Furthermore, to resolve the inconvenience of having to transfer to public transportation due to the absence of high-speed trains bound for Suseo, the introduction of high-speed trains to Suseo is being continuously pursued.
