The Gyeonggang Line (경강선, 성남-여주선) is a rail line in South Korea, which at present comprises two distinct sections. The first one, which opened on September 24, 2016, is part of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway system in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, and runs from the city of Seongnam to Yeoju City, partially coinciding with the route of the former narrow-gauge Suryeo Line.[2]. The second section, which is located entirely in Gangwon Province, runs between Gangneung and Wonju and opened on December 22, 2017, in anticipation of the 2018 Winter Olympics. This section of the line offers KTX service from Seoul, through the Jungang Line. In the future, both sections of the lines are to be connected, and the Gyeonggang Line will be extended westwards to Incheon.


In addition to the Gyeonggang Line, a railway line named Central Inland Line (중부내륙선) is being constructed. It will connect with the Gyeonggang Line at Bubal Station. Construction started in November 2015, and the line is expected to open in 2019 up to Chungju, and then in 2021 to Mungyeong.
