SOUTH KOREA: Open-access high speed operator Supreme Railways to launch services to Jinju, Yeosu, and Pohang from September from its Suseo terminus in southeast Seoul. SR says that it expects to increase the number of services on these routes once four-tracking of the 45∙7 km long Pyeongtaek – Osong section of the Seoul – Busan high speed line is completed; this is expected in 2027. The Pyeongtaek – Osong section is the busiest part of the national high speed network as it is shared by Korail’s KTX services from Seoul and Supreme Railways’ trains from Suseo, with both operators already offering services to Busan and Mokpo.
