Extended data:
Shantou Railway Station was built in 1995, with an area of 40,000 square meters above the ground and 40,000 square meters above the station square. It is the largest hub passenger station on the Guangzhou-Meishan Railway. Although it covers a large area, its functions are relatively simple and its layout is not reasonable. This comprehensive capacity expansion includes two parts: the track line and the platform, and the number of departure lines for motor trains is increased to seven, and the locomotive maintenance yard with departure and overnight parking lines 10 is built in stages.
The staff of Shantou Transportation Bureau said, "This also means that the reconstructed Shantou Railway Station will run more starting buses, not only to the Pearl River Delta, but also to the inter-provincial EMUs in Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Shanghai. You can also start from Shantou Railway Station, changing the situation that the original express railway and ordinary railway lines are not closely connected and becoming a transportation hub, which is far different from Chaoshan Station. "
Earlier, it was reported by the media that after Shantou Railway Station was upgraded to high-speed railway station, a maximum of 46 pairs of passenger cars were operated every day in the initial design period, and a maximum of 64 pairs of passenger cars were operated every day in the long term, which were sent to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Longyan and Meizhou respectively.
The Transportation Bureau said, "After the completion of Shantou Station, the original status quo of motor trains will be changed. Shantou citizens can take the bullet train directly at Shantou Railway Station on Taishan Road, which not only provides great convenience for citizens to travel, but also improves the travel conditions of people in Chaoshan area and is more integrated into the inter-city rail transit network in eastern Guangdong.
More importantly, the tie line will take Shantou as the center, make full use of Guang Mei-Shantou Railway and xiamen-shenzhen railway, give play to the radiation function of Shantou, strengthen the ties among economic regions, and promote the economic development of Shantou. "
