Stations
Six new stations were built along the Gyeongbu High Speed Railway. From Seoul to Busan:
- Gwangmyeong Station, in the southwestern suburbs of Seoul
- Cheonan Asan Station, west of Cheonan and east of Asan
- Osong Station, near Osong (opened on November 1, 2010)
- Gimcheon-Gumi Station, east of Gimcheon (opened on November 1, 2010)
- Singyeongju Station, south of Gyeongju (opened with the Daegu-Busan section on November 1, 2010)
- Ulsan Station, west of Ulsan (opened with the Daegu-Busan section on November 1, 2010)
Once complete, the Gyeongbu HSR will directly connect to four existing main stations in major cities, which KTX trains currently reach on tracks of the conventional Gyeongbu Line:
- Seoul Station: plans for separate tracks until Gwangmyeong were abandoned when the project was phased in 1998
- Daejeon Station: separate tracks across downtown Daejeon in construction for 2014
- Dongdaegu Station: separate tracks across downtown Daegu in construction for 2014
- Busan: the end of the line since November 1, 2010

Famous quotes containing the word stations:
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“After I was married a year I remembered things like radio stations and forgot my husband.”
—P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
