This is the third railway between Guangzhou and Shenzhen. It is slower than the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link but faster than the Guangzhou–Shenzhen railway.

History

Route planning in 2009 within Guangzhou changed several times and then a big change, with Xintang in Guangzhou's Zengcheng District chosen as the originating point, straight into Hongmei, Dongguan. This changed the access to the Guangzhou Metro to Line 13, with future access to the planned Line 16.[5][6] Guangzhou–Dongguan–Shenzhen intercity railway originally planned to through operate into Shenzhen Metro's Line 11 to Futian station in central Shenzhen.[7] However, in September 2010, it was announced that this railway will no longer enter through operate via Line 11 into Shenzhen city center and designed as a separate railway service.[8][9]

Future development

Northern extension (Xinbaiguang intercity railway)

It is planned in the future to extend this railway further north eventually extending to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and Guangzhou North railway station. The extension from Xintang South to Guangzhou North is also known as Xinbaiguang intercity railway (新白广城际铁路).[19]

Southern extension

Originally, the Suishen ICR was planned to enter central Shenzhen. The line was cut back to Shenzhen Airport in 2010.[9] The expansion of the line south of Shenzhen Airport was proposed again in 2019 but this time only up to Qianhai.[20][21] The extension will be underground, 15.15 km (9.41 mi) long with three stations.[22] In June 2020, NDRC approved a further extension beyond Qianhai deeper in to central Shenzhen. The extension will add about 10 km (6.2 mi) of line and additionally serve Baishizhou and Huanggang Port.[18] The southern extension is expected to be complete in 2025.[23]

Others

There are also possible links with the proposed Hong Kong–Shenzhen Western Express Railway, allowing for cross-border services and an eventual rail link between Hong Kong Airport with Shenzhen Airport and Guangzhou Airport.
