Services
Trains departing from Beijing West leave for destinations to the West (including Xi'an, Chongqing and Chengdu), as well as trains for Lhasa and Urumqi in the far West of China and the Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-Kowloon Main Trunk Lines.
The well-known Jingjiu Railway, or Beijing-Kowloon Railway line, begins from this railway station.
Since the opening of the Qingzang railway in 2006, it is possible to catch a direct train to Lhasa from this station.
