The Gyeongui–Jungang Line of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway system is a major commuter rail service operating on the Gyeongui Line (opened on July 1, 2009) and the Jungang Line (opened on December 16, 2005).[1]

Frequent service is provided between Munsan and Yongmun by 8-car trains. However, some services (run by 4-car trains) split for Seoul Station east of Gajwa. Additionally, many trains terminate at various locations on the line such as Ilsan, Neunggok, Daegok, Yongsan, Cheongnyangni, Deokso, and Yangpyeong.

Trains travel along the Gyeongui (Munsan-Seoul Station/Gajwa), Yongsan (Gajwa-Yongsan), Gyeongwon (Yongsan-Hoegi), and Jungang (Hoegi-Yongmun) lines.

The line runs on the left-hand side of the track, like all other Korail-run Seoul Metropolitan Subway lines.
