GyeonguiJungang

The Gyeongui–Jungang Line is a commuter rail line in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, South Korea. It is operated by Korail. The line connects Munsan in Paju to Jipyeong in Yangpyeong, passing through central Seoul. It was formed by merging two former lines: the Gyeongui Line, which ran from Seoul Station to Munsan, and the Jungang Line, which ran from Cheongnyangni to Jipyeong. The unification of these lines created a continuous east-west corridor across the metropolitan area.

The Gyeongui Line originally opened in 1906 and was a significant route for north-south travel. The Jungang Line, on the other hand, served the eastern part of Seoul and its surrounding areas. The integration of these lines aimed to improve transportation efficiency and connectivity for commuters. The current Gyeongui–Jungang Line features numerous stations, serving densely populated urban and suburban areas. Key transfer points include Seoul Station, Yongsan Station, and Cheongnyangni Station, allowing passengers to connect to other major subway and rail lines. The line is a vital part of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway system, facilitating daily commutes and regional travel. Its operations are characterized by frequent train services, particularly during peak hours.
