According to Yonhap News,

(GWANGJU=Yonhap News) The Korail Gwangju Branch announced February 12 that the Gwangju Songjeong station will move to a new station on February 17.

The new Gwangju Songjeong station (4,858 ㎡) was built in accordance with the opening of the Honam high speed railway in the coming April. The new station includes all kinds of convenient facilities and secured a large parking lot for the users.

Also, the fact that the city has built an intercity bus terminal near the new station will help the new Gwangju Songjeong station to play a pivotal role as the transportation hub of the southern region.

“The opening of the Honam high speed railway will contribute to the regional economy as the number of tourists will increase. We, therefore, ask for the local government’s proactive support to expand transportation network and revitalize the regional economy," said a Korail official.
