Stations and Connections
Thirteen Taiwan High Speed Rail stations were planned in the western corridor, with eight stations already open. One more, Nangang Station, is under construction for an January 2015 opening, while three more are scheduled to open in June 2015. These four stations are expected to increase passenger numbers by 5%.
To improve local public transit connections to THSR stations, the TRA built two new spur lines branching off from its Western Line.
- Shalun Line for Tainan opened on January 2, 2011,
- Liujia Line for Hsinchu opened on November 11, 2011.
