High-speed trains run at speeds of up to 200 km/h, including French 'TGV', Japanese 'Shinkansen' and German 'ICE'. Korea's first high-speed train is 'KTX' which introduced French TGV.
South Korea entered the perfect daily life zone by using high-speed trains.
Korean high-speed trains, made up by domestic engineers from design to production, testing and test operation, were commercialized in 2010 under the name of 'KTX-Sancheon', and were put into the Kyungbu High Speed Line and Honam High Speed Line. Korea will also be able to independently produce and operate high-speed trains that run for more than 350 km/h, the fourth in the world, following Japan, France and Germany.
The SRT train used today is different from the existing KTX.
First of all, the SRT station does not have a nice building like the central station of Russia or Seoul station which informs the train station.
The SRT station is underground, so you may be embarrassed when you first use it.
The Dongtan station (used today) takes a train from the underground 6th floor.
Parking lot is also available for each underground floor.
(It 's easy to take pictures to find a parked car.)
Illegal parking around the station is no longer possible. The parking fee is about $ 10 to $ 15 per day.
The advantage of SRT trains is that it takes about 10 minutes to get to the eastern part of Seoul(GangNam). In fact, the more attractive merit is that the seating space is wide.
KTX is actually uncomfortable due to the narrow seating area.Sitting in the opposite direction is often distracting.
Of course, the KTX Sancheon has improved, but the service time is limited.
Free wifi and magazines are available in the train rooms, and electrical outlets are located in front of and behind the seats. The need to charge mobile devices has increased, which is a very good service.
As it is digitized, it does not output the ticket and there is no confirmation process. Just go into the train room and sit in your seat.
The crew confirms this information electronically.
Your e-ticket informs you of arrival and departure information by alarm.
Unfortunately, the snack cart on the train disappeared.
The fun of sitting down on the train also became memories.
There is a drinks vending machine between the trains.
The special room are expensive, but the seats are more spacious and the backrests are more inclined. I have not used yet, but I know it in common sense.
I hope you would like to have some information on train trips in Korea.
Good luck today!
