KTX Gyeonggang line launches in December

Korail has confirmed KTX trains will be running on the new Gyeonggang Line starting December 22. Once the KTX commences its operation on the new railway, passengers will be able to enjoy a convenient access from the Seoul Metropolitan Area to Donghae region. So far, the only transportation routes connecting Seoul Metropolitan Area and the regions of Gangwon-do and Donghae are a minimum 3 hr drive or a bus ride via expressway and a 6 hr train ride. The addition of KTX operation on Gyeonggang Line is expected to cut the transportation time between Seoul Station and Gangneung, taking only 1 hr 54 min (1 hr 26 min departing from Cheongnyangni Station), allowing visitors to plan a day trip from and to Gangwon-do.
