Bundang Line - South Extension to Suwon

[Kormy]

Hello Everyone,

I had the opportunity to spend a week in Suwon, and passed the construction sites of the metro in the city many times.

I was curious about the project so I tried to find more information about it. So far I know that it is the Bundang Line that is being built, which is getting extended from Giheung to Suwon and it is scheduled to be completed in end 2013.

Unfortunatelly I was not able to get any information about the details in english.

I would appreciate it if anyone could fill me in on the details, such as what exact route will the line take, how many stops will there be between Giheung and Suwon, etc.

If you have any information, or links to english articles about project, please don't hold it back!

Thanks in advance!

Thank you, but I checked it already. The extension between Bojeong and Giheung is already open, and I was able to get quite many pics from the stations on that extension.

What I'm curious about is the section between Giheung and Suwon which is being built at the moment.

I'll be doing a post on this soon once I get time. Been so busy I've hardly been able to write any updates.

Hi Kormy, I posted about the section you were wanting to know more about recently. Hope that helps! http://kojects.com/2012/09/27/bundan...r-in-december/

A part of the extension was opened according to the schedule! 7.4 km from Gheung to Mangpo, four new stations on the Bundang Line are now connecting Suwon to Bundang and Seoul via Rail. The first rail way through Suwon was built in 1905 and with the Bundang Line, it is the newest rail connection in 107 years!

I also tried to search for maps about the extension, but the linked in your article is the best so far.

By the way, I just found that the Korean Wikipedia Articles about the new stations have been created and they include a lot of pictures.

I am also looking for information based on google translate. I feel very difficult.

The Bundang line is great, it is so useful that it goes so far south.
