Three more railway stations coming in Xiong'an New Area
The design process has begun on three new railway stations in Xiong'an New Area in Hebei province as part of the large scale construction going on in the new economic zone near Beijing.
The three stations are Xiong'an Intercity Railway Station, Xiaoli Railway Station and Jinrongdao Station, with the former two serving both trains and subways. The latter is for subways only, Hebei Daily reported.
In addition to these three planned stations, another is already complete and will start operating by the end of the year. That is Xiong'an Railway Station, from which high-speed trains will run to the capital and neighboring Tianjin.
The three new stations, all of them underground, are key components of the east-west rail transport system for Xiong'an. They are located in the startup area of Xiong'an, the first area to be built up in the new economic zone.
Another high-speed railway under construction, running from Xiong'an to Xinzhou in neighboring Shanxi province, starts from Xiong'an Railway Station and will run west through Xiong'an Intercity Railway Station and Xiaoli Railway Station, and then pass Baoding East Railway Station in Baoding, which is currently in use.
