"Cheongnyangni~Wangsimni Station 1km Single-Track Railway Construction Needed"...Dongdaemun-gu Launches Petition

Dongdaemun-gu Holds Petition Drive at Cheongnyangni Station Plaza on the 24th for a Single-Track Railway to Ensure Comfortable Commutes for Residents of Eastern Seoul and Gyeonggi Province

"Please support the normalization of the Suin-Bundang Line at Cheongnyangni Station"

Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) held a resident signature campaign on the 24th at Cheongnyangni Station Plaza to establish a 1km single-track railway between Cheongnyangni and Wangsimni Stations.

This is to convey to related organizations the necessity of a single track that residents of eastern Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, who commute to Gangnam using Cheongnyangni Station, feel due to the limited operation frequency of the Suin-Bundang Line, which runs only 9 times on weekdays (5 times on weekends) one-way.

A Dongdaemun-gu official stated, "Along with the signatures collected from citizens using Cheongnyangni Station, we plan to gather about 100,000 signatures (both QR and handwritten) by June 2025 with the cooperation of the District Council, 14 community service centers, Dongdaemun-gu Facilities Management Corporation, and management offices of local apartment complexes, and deliver them to related organizations such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport."

Dongdaemun-gu, which is conducting its own feasibility study to normalize the Suin-Bundang Line at Cheongnyangni Station, is making every effort to establish the 1km single-track railway between Cheongnyangni and Wangsimni Stations, including recently signing a business agreement with Namyangju City, where the connection between the Gyeongchun Line and Suin-Bundang Line is a pressing issue.

Lee Pil-hyung, Dongdaemun-gu Mayor, who personally participated in the signature campaign that day, said, "The single-track railway of the Suin-Bundang Line at Cheongnyangni Station is a must for the comfortable life of not only Dongdaemun-gu residents but also residents of eastern Seoul and Gyeonggi-do," and asked citizens to join in solidarity with Dongdaemun-gu.
