Chongqing North railway station is a railway station located in Yubei District, Chongqing, China. It is served by the Yuhuai Railway, Suining–Chongqing Railway and Yuli Railway, and operated by the China Railway Chengdu Group.

Name

[edit]

Prior to the construction of this station at its present site, Shapingba railway station was known as Chongqing North railway station.[citation needed] It was subsequently renamed to avoid confusion and to better reflect the geographic nature of both stations.

Structure

[edit]

This station consists of two separate departure halls; the eastern hall is for long-distance services and the western hall is for high-speed CRH trains.[citation needed] Arrivals are through a common underground hall.

Service at this station is separated into North and South Courses. The South Course handles long-distance trains to many parts of China. The North Course is currently being expanded and will handle mostly high-speed intercity services.

Metro

[edit]

Service

[edit]

This station currently handles most long-distance train services to and from Chongqing, whilst Chongqing railway station is closed for renovations (due to finish in 2015).[citation needed] It is also the main high-speed railway connection to Chengdu via Suining.

History

[edit]

The station has been in operation since October 2006.[2]
