Beijing Suburban Railway

Beijing Suburban Railway

Beijing Suburban Railway (Chinese: 北京市郊铁路; Hanyu Pinyin: Běijīng shìjiāo tiělù) is a commuter rail service serving urban Beijing and outlying districts and counties beyond the reach of the city's Beijing Subway network. The "S"-numbered suburban rail lines are managed by the Beijing Railway Bureau, an agency of the Ministry of Railways that is not affiliated with the Beijing Mass Transit Railway Operation Corp., Ltd, the municipal company that operates the subway. Hence, the S-Lines run on separate tracks and stations and have a different fare schedule from the subway.

The S2 Line, which runs from Beijing North Railway Station to Yanqing County was the first to enter into operation, on August 6, 2008. [ [http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90001/90776/6468569.html Beijing's suburban railway Line S2 opens, "People's Daily"] Aug. 7, 2008]

The S1 Line, currently in advanced planning stages, will run from Mentougou District west of the city to Pingguoyuan and Wulu, the western termini of Line 1 and Line 6 of the Beijing Subway.
