New plan
- South Korea plans a 24.5-kilometer dedicated KTX line between Susaek and Gwangmyeong.
- KTX services could increase substantially from as early as 2036, while Seoul Station to Gwangmyeong Station travel time could fall by about nine minutes.
- Stronger regional transport links are increasing interest in housing around Susaek and Gwangmyeong Station.
A planned high-speed rail link between Susaek in western Seoul and Gwangmyeong in Gyeonggi Province is fueling expectations that home prices in both areas will climb further.
The dedicated underground line will cover 24.5 kilometers. From as early as 2036, KTX trains are expected to run much more frequently, while the trip between Seoul Station and Gwangmyeong Station could become about nine minutes shorter.
The improved connection between Seoul and Gwangmyeong is also drawing greater attention to residential areas around Susaek and Gwangmyeong Station. The transport ministry provided the details on Sept. 1.
