For Gyeongju, select “Gyeongju Station,” formerly Singyeongju Station. Have your payment method ready and book at the fare shown. It is also worth checking local transport connections.\n\nService and fare figures are based on Korail’s announcements dated December 15, 2025, and August 5, 2026.\n\n## How to Check KTX Timetables and Book Tickets\n\nOnce you have chosen your departure and arrival stations, you can search for trains in Korail+. Have your travel date and passenger details ready. Check the price for each seat class before paying.\n\n1. Check your destination’s address and choose an arrival station. For Daegu, search Dongdaegu and Seodaegu separately to compare them.\n2. Open Korail+ or the Korail ticket booking website. Enter your departure station, arrival station, date, and number of passengers.\n3. Check the details of the trains shown. First, check the stops and whether a transfer is required.\n4. Compare arrival times and fares by seat class. Check the eligibility conditions before selecting a discount.\n5. Check the refund conditions on the payment screen. After paying, confirm that your ticket has been issued.\n\nThere is no single booking deadline that applies to all regular travel. Follow the sales schedule and payment deadline provided for your ticket. If a separate booking announcement applies, such as for a holiday period, check that schedule.\n\n## Comparing Dongdaegu, Seodaegu, Gyeongju, and Pohang Stations\n\nChoose your arrival station by considering both the city you are visiting and the journey from the station to your destination. Even for the same trip to Daegu, transport connections differ between Dongdaegu and Seodaegu. In the search results, also check that your preferred train stops at the station you selected.\n\n| Arrival station | Features to consider | What to check before booking |\n|---|---|---|\n| Dongdaegu | Connections to Daegu Metro Line 1 and the intermodal transit center | Metro and bus routes to your destination |\n| Seodaegu | A KTX stop to compare when visiting western Daegu | Trains stopping there on your travel date and onward transport |\n| Gyeongju | Formerly Singyeongju Station, served by the Gyeongbu High-Speed Line and KTX-Eum | Bus connections to central Gyeongju and tourist attractions |\n| Pohang | Served by Seoul to Pohang KTX and Donghae Line KTX-Eum services | The direction of city-bound buses and the route to your final destination |\n\nDo not use historical stop counts for Seodaegu Station as the current timetable. Daegu’s December 2022 guidance reflects services at that time. Check the current number of services in Korail+ by selecting your travel date.\n\nAt Dongdaegu, you can transfer to Metro Line 1. Also check the directions toward the intermodal transit center. Metro connections are also listed in the [Dongdaegu Tax Office transport guide](https://in.nts.go.kr/dongdaegu/ad/tsm/lcInfo.do?mi=5992).\n\n## Are Gyeongju Station and Singyeongju Station the Same Station?\n\nGyeongju Station on current KTX tickets is the former Singyeongju Station. Its name changed to Gyeongju Station on **December 28, 2023**. You can confirm the change date in a [Gyeongbuk Maeil report](https://www.kbmaeil.com/article/202312290380640) covering Gyeongju City’s explanation.\n\nThe old Gyeongju Station in the city center closed in December 2021. Distinguish the current Gyeongju Station from the old station site downtown. When using a map, select the Gyeongju Station where trains currently stop.\n\n| Screen you are checking | What to select or confirm |\n|---|---|\n| Train booking | “Gyeongju” as the arrival station |\n| Older travel guides | Check whether “Singyeongju Station” refers to the current Gyeongju Station |\n| Bus information | Gyeongju Station or the Gyeongju Station KTX bus stop, and the direction of travel |\n| Directions to your accommodation | The route from the current Gyeongju Station to your accommodation’s address |\n\n## Comparing the Gyeongbu High-Speed Line, Donghae Line, and Jungang Line\n\nDo not determine a train’s origin and destination from the name Donghae Line alone. Seoul to Pohang KTX and Gangneung to Bujeon KTX-Eum services operate on different sections. The train name KTX-Eum does not refer to just one route either.\n\n| Category | Main service sections | What to check for this trip |\n|---|---|---|\n| KTX using the Gyeongbu High-Speed Line | Toward Seoul and Suseo, and toward Busan | Whether the train stops at Dongdaegu, Seodaegu, or Gyeongju |\n| Donghae Line Seoul to Pohang KTX | Seoul to Pohang | Search for direct trains arriving at Pohang |\n| Donghae Line KTX-Eum | Gangneung to Bujeon | Travel between Gyeongju, Pohang, and cities on the east coast |\n| Jungang Line KTX-Eum | Cheongnyangni and Seoul to Bujeon | Check trains toward Gyeongju and their intermediate stops |\n\nDonghae Line KTX-Eum services started on December 30, 2025. The announcement at the time listed 6 services a day, with 3 in each direction. The average journey time from Gangneung to Bujeon was 3 hours 54 minutes at that time.\n\nThe announced intermediate stops include Gyeongju, Pohang, and Taehwagang. Services were also announced to stop at Yeongdeok, Uljin, and Samcheok. Jeongdongjin, Mukho, and Donghae were also among the announced stops.\n\nIf you are visiting Ulsan, distinguish Ulsan Station from Taehwagang Station. Ulsan Station on the Gyeongbu High-Speed Line and Taehwagang Station on the Donghae Line are different stations. For Busan, also check whether your ticket is for Busan Station or Bujeon Station.\n\nServices on the Jungang Line were expanded from December 30, 2025. At the time, the Cheongnyangni to Bujeon service was announced as operating 16 times on weekdays and 18 times on weekends. In September 2026, 2 daily Seoul to Bujeon KTX-Eum services were added.\n\nThese figures are the total number of services on each route at the time of each announcement. They are not the same as the number of one-way trains you can board at a particular station. Search Korail+ for the services you can actually use.\n\nThe route distinctions are based on [Korail’s December 2025 service adjustment announcement](https://info.korail.com/info/selectBbsNttView.do?key=911\u0026bbsNo=199\u0026nttNo=25904).\n\n### Railway Opening Dates and Train Service Start Dates\n\nDistinguish the date a railway line opened from the date a particular train service started. The Pohang to Samcheok line opened on January 1, 2025. Donghae Line KTX-Eum services started on December 30 of that year.\n\n| Section | Opening date listed by Korea National Railway |\n|---|---|\n| Jungang Line, Yeongcheon to Singyeongju | December 28, 2021 |\n| Donghae Line, Busan to Ulsan | December 28, 2021 |\n| Donghae Line, Ulsan to Pohang | December 28, 2021 |\n| Donghae Line, Pohang to Samcheok | January 1, 2025 |\n\nThe section names above follow those used in [Korea National Railway’s history of major railway construction](https://www.kr.or.kr/sub/info.do?m=05010102). Regular Seoul to Pohang KTX services officially started on April 2, 2015. The official start date can be confirmed in Korail’s temporary train service notice from that time. (Confirmed date: April 2, 2015 · Source: info.korail.com · As of 2015-03-25 · Checked on 2026-11-11)\n\n## How to Check Fares After Service Integration\n\nCheck the current amount payable on the booking screen after entering your travel date. Korail lowered KTX fares by an average of 10% from September 2026. Do not apply the average reduction directly to fares for individual sections.\n\nFrom September 1, 2026, KTX and SRT operate as an integrated KTX service. Former SRT trains were renamed KTX-Sancheon. Korail+ is an app that lets you search for tickets departing from Seoul and Suseo together.\n\nKorail’s announcement, “Korail to Integrate High-Speed Rail Operations from September,” includes the following wording.\n\n\u003e “Korail+,” an integrated app that lets you search for and book tickets departing from Seoul and Suseo stations together\n\n| Section | Announced fare before the reduction | Announced fare after the September 2026 reduction |\n|---|---:|---:|\n| Seoul to Busan | 59,800 won | 54,400 won |\n| Yongsan to Gwangju-Songjeong | 46,800 won | 42,000 won |\n\nThe table shows examples of standard fares after the reduction, as provided by Korail. The actual amount payable varies by train, date, seat, and discount. The source is [Korail’s August 5, 2026 announcement](https://info.korail.com/info/selectBbsNttView.do?key=911\u0026bbsNo=199\u0026nttNo=27135).\n\nYou need to search separately for current fares from Seoul and Suseo to Dongdaegu, Seodaegu, Gyeongju, and Pohang. Do not calculate fares for other sections from the two examples above. Also check current journey times and daily service counts for the same date.\n\n### Were KTX-Eum Fares Reduced by the Same Percentage?\n\nWhether the same reduction applies to KTX-Eum needs to be checked. The integration announcement reviewed here does not establish that it applies to every KTX-Eum section. Check the fare shown for the relevant train in Korail+.\n\n| Donghae Line KTX-Eum section | Fare announced on December 15, 2025 | Caution when using this figure |\n|---|---:|---|\n| Gangneung to Bujeon | 46,800 won | Figure announced when services started |\n| Donghae to Bujeon | 42,100 won | Figure announced when services started |\n\nThese amounts have not been reconfirmed as fares applicable from September 2026 onward. Fares for shorter journeys from Gyeongju or Pohang are also separate. Check discount eligibility and remaining seats on the booking screen.\n\n## How to Travel from the Station into the City\n\nFor Gyeongju and Pohang, also check bus routes for after your train arrives. Check the direction of travel as well as the bus number. Do not assume a fixed service interval; check the information for that day.\n\n### From Gyeongju Station to Hwangnidan-gil and Bomun Tourist Complex\n\nGyeongju City’s tourism guide describes the connection to the city center provided by bus 710. The listed route runs from Gyeongju Station via the bus terminal and Hwangnidan-gil. It then continues toward Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond and Bomun Tourist Complex.\n\n1. Search the Gyeongju Transportation Information Center for routes departing from Gyeongju Station.\n2. Identify the stop closest to your destination.\n3. Check bus services running after your train arrives.\n4. For your return trip, compare the last bus to Gyeongju Station with your train’s departure time.\n\nThe route information comes from [Gyeongju City’s Hwangnidan-gil tourism guide](https://www.gyeongju.go.kr/hwangridan/images/gj_map_kor.pdf). Distinguish the route shown in this guide from bus service information for your travel day. Check the Gyeongju Transportation Information Center for current times.\n\n### From Pohang Station Toward the City Center and City Hall\n\nYou can check how to use bus 5000 toward the city center from Pohang Station. Pohang City Council recommends this bus to visitors going to City Hall. The route to City Hall requires a transfer to bus 700 along the way.\n\n1. At Pohang Station, check where to board bus 5000 toward the city center.\n2. If you are going to City Hall, get off at the Daedong Woobang Apartments stop.\n3. Transfer to bus 700 and get off at the City Hall stop.\n\nThis route is listed in [Pohang City Council’s directions](https://council.pohang.go.kr/content/council/location.html). For other destinations, the stops where you get off or transfer will differ. Check the actual services again before departure.\n\n## Checking Parking, Lockers, Nursing Rooms, and Rental Cars\n\nCheck the operating status of each station service you plan to use. The locations and opening hours of all facilities at the four stations have not been confirmed. No specific exit or floor is given for facilities whose locations have not been verified.\n\n| Facility needed | What to check | Where to check |\n|---|---|---|\n| Parking | Parking lot name, entrance, fees, and discount conditions | The operator’s parking information and on-site fee signs |\n| Lockers | Whether lockers are available, their location, luggage size limits, and access hours | Station information or on-site operating information |\n| Nursing room | Location and access hours | Station information or station staff |\n| Rental car | Branch location, pickup location, and return time | The rental car company you booked with |\n| Mobility assistance | Elevator routes and availability of assistance | Railway Customer Center or station staff |\n\nYou can search KNPARK for parking lots operated by Korail Networks. Parking lots around the same station may have different operators. Check the exact parking lot name in the [KNPARK parking information](https://knpark.com/parkInfo/parkInfo.do).\n\nFor questions about station facilities, you can contact the Railway Customer Center at 1588-7788. 1544-7788 is also listed as a customer service number. Confirm your rental car pickup location separately with the company you booked with.\n\n## Comparing Train Arrival with Arrival at Your Actual Destination\n\nChoose your itinerary by adding onward travel time to the train’s arrival time. Choosing between Dongdaegu and Seodaegu involves more than the train journey alone. Trips to Gyeongju and Pohang also require connections to your accommodation or the place you are visiting.\n\n| Item to compare | What to account for in your itinerary |\n|---|---|\n| Train arrival | The arrival date and time on the booking screen |\n| Movement within the station | Travel from the platform to the bus or metro boarding point |\n| Waiting for the next connection | Buses and metro services available after the train arrives |\n| Final leg | The route from the stop where you get off to your accommodation or the place you are visiting |\n\nFor example, if you are visiting Hwangnidan-gil, arriving at Gyeongju Station is not the end of your journey. Also check which bus you can take after arrival. If you are visiting Pohang City Hall, include the bus transfer in your itinerary.\n\nLate trains may arrive the next day. Around midnight, check the departure date and arrival date separately. Also check the last connecting bus service based on your arrival date.\n\n## Common Booking Mistakes\n\nDistinguishing station names, line names, and announcement dates can help reduce incorrect searches. Do not treat figures from old guidance as current values. Check the following items before paying.\n\n| Common mistake | What to check |\n|---|---|\n| Selecting another station because Singyeongju Station does not appear in searches | The current station name for booking is Gyeongju |\n| Assuming all Donghae Line trains follow the same route | Distinguish Seoul to Pohang from Gangneung to Bujeon |\n| Assuming all KTX-Eum trains run on the same line | Check the actual service section, such as the Jungang Line or Donghae Line |\n| Calculating every fare using the average 10% reduction | Check the current fare for the train shown in your search |\n| Using historical Seodaegu stop counts as current figures | Search the timetable for your travel date |\n| Treating the train’s arrival time as your arrival time at your accommodation | Add bus waiting, transfers, and walking time |\n| Finishing after checking only the reservation details | Confirm that payment is complete and the ticket has been issued |","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eFor KTX trains to Daegu, Gyeongju, and Pohang, search in Korail+ by arrival station and travel date.

It was renamed Gyeongju Station on December 28, 2023. Do not confuse it with the former Gyeongju Station in the city center."},{"question":"For a trip to Daegu, should I book a ticket to Dongdaegu Station or Seodaegu Station?","answer":"Compare them based on transport connections to your destination. For Dongdaegu, you can check connections to Metro Line 1 and the intermodal transfer center. For Seodaegu, check both the trains stopping there on your travel date and transport connections to your destination."},{"question":"How many trains stop at Seodaegu Station each day?","answer":"Check the current number on KORAIL+ by selecting your travel date. Do not use the number in past Daegu city notices as the current timetable. You also need to distinguish whether the number is the combined total for both directions."},{"question":"Are the Seoul to Pohang KTX and the Donghae Line KTX-Eum the same train service?","answer":"They operate on different routes. The Seoul to Pohang KTX connects Seoul and Pohang. The Donghae Line KTX-Eum operates between Gangneung and Bujeon, stopping at Gyeongju, Pohang, and other stations."},{"question":"When did regular Seoul to Pohang KTX service begin?","answer":"Regular service began on April 2, 2015. KORAIL separately announced temporary train services before that date."},{"question":"Can I also look up trains departing from Suseo on KORAIL+?","answer":"With the start of integrated operations in September 2026, KORAIL announced ticket searches for departures from Seoul and Suseo. Enter Suseo as your departure station on KORAIL+. Check services to your desired destination by date."},{"question":"What are the fares to Dongdaegu, Gyeongju, and Pohang after the reduction?","answer":"Check the KORAIL+ booking screen after entering your departure station and travel date. You cannot calculate fares for individual routes from the average reduction rate alone. The final payment amount varies depending on the train, seat, and discount conditions."},{"question":"Were KTX-Eum fares also reduced by an average of 10%?","answer":"The integration announcement reviewed does not by itself establish that the same reduction rate applies to every KTX-Eum route. Check the current fare for your route on KORAIL+."},{"question":"Is there a bus from Gyeongju Station to Hwangnidan-gil?","answer":"Gyeongju's tourist information lists bus 710 as a route connecting Gyeongju Station and Hwangnidan-gil. Check the operating times for your travel date and the stop where you should get off with the Gyeongju Traffic Information Center."},{"question":"Can I take a bus from Pohang Station to City Hall?","answer":"The Pohang City Council provides directions using bus 5000 toward the city center. This involves transferring to bus 700 at the Daedong Woobang Apartments stop. Check that day's services before departing."},{"question":"Are luggage lockers and nursing rooms available at all four stations?","answer":"We have not confirmed both the availability and operating status of these facilities at all four stations. Check with station information or the Railway Customer Center about the facilities you need. For parking and rental cars, you should also check the information from each operator."},{"question":"Can I plan my trip based only on the train's arrival time?","answer":"Include travel from the station to your destination in your schedule. Bus waiting and transfer times may add to your journey. For late trains, check whether they arrive the next day and when the last connecting services depart."}],"sources":[{"url":"https://info.korail.com/info/selectBbsNttView.do?key=911\u0026bbsNo=199\u0026nttNo=27135","title":"Korea Railroad Corporation, Korail to integrate high-speed rail
