Comparing Yongsan and Suseo Departures and Arrival Stations

When choosing a departure station, compare both the time needed to reach the station and your preferred train's departure time. Entering Seoul Station simply because you are departing from Seoul could cause you to miss the service you want. Search for Yongsan Station and Suseo Station by their respective names.

Yeocheon Station and Yeosu-Expo Station are different stations. If your accommodation is near Yeocheon Station, compare the onward journey to your accommodation separately. You can plan visits to the Expo grounds around Yeosu-Expo Station.

What Changed After High-Speed Rail Integration in 2026

From September 1, 2026, high-speed trains operate under the unified KTX service. The former SRT trains have been renamed KTX-Sancheon. Trains departing from Suseo are also booked through Korail+.

Korail's announcement, “Korail to Integrate High-Speed Rail Operations from September,” states:

First, the previously separate high-speed train fleets will operate together under KTX, and SRT will be renamed KTX-Sancheon.

At the time of integration, KTX fares fell by an average of 10% to align with previous SRT fares. Member mileage benefits were also extended to high-speed trains departing from Suseo. Check Korail's current guidance for eligibility conditions.

Do not interpret these figures as the number of additional daily services on the Jeolla Line alone. The reduction in the average interval between services is also different from a reduction in an individual train's journey time. Check the booking screen for the actual services on your travel date.

How to Check Fares and Timetables

To check current fares and the number of daily services, search using your travel date. This article does not list unverified fares for individual routes. Do not use fares from old timetables as current prices.

First check whether a fare table predates the September 2026 fare reduction. Do not calculate current fares by applying the average reduction rate to old fares. Check discounted prices separately from base fares.

Jeonju Station Parking and Access Routes

For Jeonju Station, check notices issued after the 2025 temporary parking guidance. Jeonju City announced that the rear parking lot would open on July 27, 2026. The existing temporary parking lot at the front closed on the same day.

According to Jeonju City's announcement, the new rear parking lot has 382 spaces. The connecting passage above the tracks and the right-hand section of the expanded station building also opened. The overall station improvement project is scheduled for completion at the end of 2027. Jeonju City parking changes notice, Jeonju City notice on the opening of selected facilities

1. If you are driving, check the location of the rear parking lot entrance.
2. Follow the construction signs on site to reach the connecting passage to the station building.
3. If you are using a bus or taxi, check the boarding area and entrance guidance for that day.

A target completion date does not mean construction is complete. Recheck taxi pickup and drop-off locations and pedestrian routes before visiting. Plan separate transport to city destinations such as Hanok Village.

Getting from Suncheon Station to the National Garden and Suncheon Bay Wetland

From Suncheon Station, take bus 66 to the stop for your destination. Suncheon Bay National Garden and Suncheon Bay Wetland have different stops. If you want to see the reed beds, check the route to Suncheon Bay Wetland.

The National Garden route follows guidance from Suncheon City's Garden Support Center. The wetland route is based on the directions on the Suncheon Bay Wetland website. Neither page specifies the date to which its travel time applies. Directions to the Garden Support Center, Directions to Suncheon Bay Wetland

1. Decide whether to visit the National Garden or the wetland first.
2. Check the direction of bus 66 in Suncheon City's bus information.
3. Board at the stop serving that direction.
4. Check the return bus as well so you can catch your train back.

The wetland website lists bus 66 as operating from 06:05~22:00. The service interval is shown as about 25 minutes. Check that day's bus information for the times it passes Suncheon Station. Weekday and weekend timetables and routes may change.

Getting from Yeosu-Expo Station to the Expo Grounds and Odongdo

You can walk from Yeosu-Expo Station to the Expo grounds. Check a separate route for Odongdo. Do not use the walking time to the Expo grounds as the time needed to reach Odongdo.

According to the management company's directions, the Expo grounds are about a 5-minute walk away. The guide does not provide a distance figure. Once inside the Expo grounds, check the location of the facility you plan to visit. Directions from Yeosu Expo Management

The Korea Tourism Organization's September 2022 guide lists bus 2 to Odongdo. Check with the Yeosu City Traffic Information Center to see whether it is currently available. This article does not establish the current walking distance or time from the station to Odongdo. Korea Tourism Organization transport guide to Odongdo

1. Search for the Yeosu-Expo Station bus stop at the Yeosu City Traffic Information Center.
2. Check routes toward your destination and expected arrival information.
3. For Odongdo, include travel time beyond the entrance in your plans.

Yeosu City's tourism and culture guide lists buses 2, 6, and 7 in front of the station. It also lists buses 109, 111, and 333. Not all routes serve the same attractions, so check them against your destination.

Checking Lockers, Nursing Rooms, and Wheelchair Access

If you need convenience facilities, check their availability with the station you plan to visit. The availability of lockers, nursing rooms, and wheelchair rentals has not been verified across all three stations. It is best to ask separately whether a facility exists and when it is available.

Yeosu City's tourism and culture website lists Yeosu-Expo Station as having no facilities for people with disabilities. This entry alone is not enough to establish the station's current range of assistance. Ask Korail specifically about the facilities and mobility assistance you need.

Calculating Travel Time After Your Train Arrives

Plan to arrive at an attraction later than your train's arrival time. Allow separately for the time needed to leave the station and wait for a bus. This process is also necessary when choosing your return train.

Take the journey from Suncheon Station to the National Garden as an example. Use the approximately 21 minutes in the official guide as a reference for the connecting journey. For your actual plans, check and add the following items.

1. Check how long it takes to get off the train and reach the bus stop.
2. Allow waiting time based on the next expected bus 66.
3. Account for changes in travel time due to road conditions.
4. Add the walk from the bus stop to the ticket office or the place you are visiting.

Plan your return journey by working backward from the time you leave the attraction. Check the attraction's closing time and return bus times separately. Also leave enough time to reach the platform at Suncheon Station.

The History of Jeolla Line KTX and Its Stations

Jeolla Line KTX services between Yongsan and Yeosu-Expo began on October 5, 2011. Korail's corporate history also records Yeosu-Expo as the terminus. Do not apply the timetable from the opening period to current travel. Korail corporate history

The 2023 guide to Jeolla Line services departing from Suseo included stops at Jeonju, Namwon, and Gokseong. Guryegu, Suncheon, Yeocheon, and Yeosu-Expo were also listed as stops. Check the booking screen for the current stops of each individual train. SR announcement dated August 11, 2023

Suncheon Station connects the Jeolla Line and the Gyeongjeon Line. If you are transferring toward the Gyeongjeon Line, check separately whether the connecting train is running. Follow the station's platform information on your travel day.

Yeosu-Expo Station was relocated and rebuilt to support Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea. Yeosu City states that operations at the current location began on December 22, 2009. This date is not presented as the date the station's name changed.

Yeosu-Expo Station's address is 2 Mangyang-ro, Yeosu. Its exterior is modeled on the bow of a ship. The facility dimensions listed in Yeosu City's introduction to its construction are as follows.
