Hongqiao Railway Station Station (simplified Chinese: 虹桥火车站站; traditional Chinese: 虹橋火車站站; pinyin: Hóngqiáo Huǒchēzhàn Zhàn) is an interchange station between Line 2 and Line 10 of the Shanghai Metro. The station entered operation on 1 July 2010, nearly four months after the opening of the line's Hongqiao extension. It is located near Hongqiao International Airport and a railway station of the same name. The Line 10 section of the station will commence operation at a later date.
From the 2010—2020 metro construction plan, 3 new metro lines are planned to start from this station; they are Line 17 via Baoshan Industry Park to Gongqing Forest Park, Line 20, to Qingpu and Line 22 to Xinzhuang.
Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
