The Honam High Speed Railway (Honam HSR) is a high-speed railway under-construction between Osong (on the existing Gyeongbu High Speed Railway) and Mokpo in South Korea. The line will become part of Korail's Korea Train Express (KTX) system, accelerating Seoul-Mokpo and Seoul-Gwangju KTX high-speed services which presently use the existing conventional Honam Line.

“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
