Representative of the Guts Train that will be abolished at the end of this year

Cheongnyangni-Bujeon Jungang Line Mugunghwa.

This train operates 4 round trips per day.

The total time required is approximately 6 hours.

In fact, this lineage boasts a long history.

In the past, in the days of Pigeonho,

Due to stationary operation and poor track conditions,

It was a system that took half a day,

Even after it was replaced by the Tongil, it took about 11 hours.

It was a very long travel chain.

As the KTX opened and the Tongil-ho was replaced by the Mugunghwa-ho,

The number of stops on this system has also been greatly reduced, but

Nevertheless, due to the poor track environment,

It still took over 8 hours.

For this reason, when operating as a night train,

It was a popular lineage.

If you depart from Cheongnyangni at 9 p.m.

Due to the structure arriving at 5 am,

It was very helpful in reducing accommodation costs.

Thanks to this, it is said that there were quite a lot of passengers using the night train.
