Location

Incheon Station (Korean: 인천역) is the western terminus railway station of the Suin–Bundang and Gyeongin lines of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway. The station is in the Bukseong neighborhood of the Jemulpo District, Incheon, South Korea and is approximately 20 kilometers west of Seoul. Established in 1899 under the Korean Empire as Chemulpo Station (제물포역; 濟物浦驛), Incheon Station is the oldest train station in the Seoul Capital Area. During the Japanese occupation of Korea, the station was briefly named Hainchon Station (하인천역; 下仁川驛) and the original station building was destroyed during the Korean War. Service for the old Suin Line began in 1937 and ended in 1995; the new Suin Line (later merged as the Suin–Bundang Line) was extended to the station in 2016. Service for the Gyeongin Line began in 1974.
