Dongguan West railway station (simplified Chinese: 东莞西站; traditional Chinese: 東莞西站; pinyin: Dōngguān Xī Zhàn; Jyutping: Dung1gun1 Sai1 Zaam6) is a railway station in Hongmei, Dongguan, Guangdong, China.

The station has two levels. The lower level has east–west platforms which serve the Guangzhou–Huizhou intercity railway, of which it was the western terminus until the Guangzhou section opened on May 26, 2024.[1][2][3] The upper level has north–south platforms which serve the Guangzhou–Shenzhen intercity railway.

In the future, the station will be served by Line 1 of the Dongguan Rail Transit. Its metro station will be called Wanghong station.

History

[edit]

The station opened on 15 December 2019 along with the first stage of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen intercity railway and an extension to the Dongguan–Huizhou intercity railway.[4]

Transfer

[edit]

There is a convenient transfer channel on the concourse on the second floor of this station, which allows passengers on the Guanghui/Suishen lines to transfer through the convenient transfer gate without leaving the station and re-checking.[5]

On January 23, 2024, Guangdong Intercity Railway Operation Co., Ltd. took over the operation of Guanghui Intercity, and the Guanghui section of this station was officially handed over to the company. On April 23, the security checks of Suishen section and Guanghui section of this station were mutually recognized, and passengers did not need to re-check when transferring between the two stations.[6]
