Uijongbu Service To Re-Open for The Spring
Published: 04 Jan. 2003, 18:48
Train service from Seoul to Uijongbu (northeast of the Seoul city limits) which was halted last December will resume April 2.
The Korean National Railroad(KNR) wants to run a tourist Mugunghwa service made up of five to six cars to travel the route once a day.
Stops will be from Seoul Station, Shinch'on, Gajwa, Susaeng, Nunggok, Daegok, Ilyong, Changheung, Onleung, Songchu and finally Uijongbu. The first train will depart Seoul Station at 10:15 a.m. and arrive at Uijongbu Station at 11:50 a.m.
However, the KNR will only offer service on the line until May. The line, which usually runs until November, will have to make way for high-speed rail construction taking place at Seoul Station. But, the KNR will still offer rail service during weekdays if a group such as a school wishes to go for a picnic or travel to the area. Of course, this charter-like service will require reservations in advance.
One-way travel is 3,800 won for adults and 1,900 won for children and reservations will be accepted as of April 7 at Seoul Station and Uijongbu Staion. For more travel schedules and reservations, please contact 02-392-7788.
