Services
KTX
Plans foresee direct KTX high-speed train service from Seoul to Pohang and Ulsan after the completion of the upgrades. From 2015, direct KTX trains are to reach Pohang from Seoul in 1 hour 50 minutes, cutting 33 minutes from the travel time with transfer at Singyeongju.[1] Under the government's 2010 strategic plan for 2020, the entire line may see KTX service.[2]
