The Gyeongui–Jungang Line is a commuter rail service of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway system, operating on trackage from 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, with 6 trains weekdays and 5 on weekends running one station east of Yongmun to Jipyeong. 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 Paldang.

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

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

Travel time is approximately 3 hours all the way and many express services cut the time to 2h 15 min
