This railway was opened in 1996. In May 2020, it was decided that the Sub-Central line of Beijing Suburban Railway would be extended to Liangxiang, and modifications were then implemented to the station.[5] After the modification, suburban passenger services of Liangxiang railway station started on 30 June 2020.[6]
