Building of Shanghai's 3rd train station to start soon

SHANGHAI: Construction of the city's third railway station, its largest in terms of daily passenger flow, will begin this year, the authorities have said.

The new station will be built near Shanghai's Hongqiao International Airport, which mainly serves domestic flights, and function as a terminal for fast-passenger trains.

At least four lines connecting the city with Beijing, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Nantong will start from this new station, the Shanghai Morning Post reported over the weekend.
