[edit] Disambiguation

Note that "Gwangmyeong Station" is the former name of Gwangmyeongsageori Station on Line 7 of the Seoul Subway and is also the name of a station on the Pyongyang underground rail network.

[edit] History

The location of Gwangmyeong Station was finalised on October 14, 1994, though construction did not begin until December 1999. The planned name of "Namseoul Station" (literally meaning South Seoul Station) was changed to "Gwangmyeong Station" on August 28, 2000 and the station building was completed on March 27, 2004. The station opened on April 1, 2004 for KTX trains and the Yongsan-Gwangmyeong Shuttle on Line 1 began operating on December 15, 2006.

[edit] Services

Gwangmyeong Station serves all KTX trains on both lines. Shuttle trains also run every 30 minutes to Yongsan, joining the Gyeongbu Line section of Line 1 at Siheung Station in Seoul. Gwangmyeong Station is not connected directly to other subway stations in the city of Gwangmyeong, namely Cheolsan and Gwangmyeongsageori, so it is necessary to change trains at Gasan Digital Complex Station in Seoul to travel there.

[edit] Building

Gwangmyeong Station is a glass structure surrounded by large car parking spaces. Standing on a plot of land measuring 264,131m², the interior of the 48,184m² building is open, with the tracks, which approach the station from both directions through cuttings, sunken below the main concourse, yet visible to passengers waiting at ground level. There are two stories above ground level and two below. The building measures 297m×148m in terms of internal available space. Originally meant to be the terminus for KTX lines, the size of the station was constructed accordingly. As the terminus changed to Seoul and Yongsan, the large difference between capacity and actual use the station and most prominently due to the size of the station, it has earned the nicknam Gwangmyeong Airport by rail enthusiasts.
