History of Shanghai Railway Station
198 1 the original Shanghai station has been rebuilt and expanded many times, but due to the limitation of geographical environment, the station yard and equipment have not been improved well, which can not cope with the rapid growth of passenger flow. So 1984, the construction of the new station building of Shanghai Railway Station officially started, and 1987, the new station building was officially opened, and the newly-built Shanghai Railway Station was called the new station.
Wusong Railway was built by Qing government in 1896, Shanghai-Nanjing Railway started in 1905, and Shanghai Railway was opened to traffic in 1908. At this time, Shanghai Railway Station was put into use. At that time, Shanghai Station of Shanghai-Nanjing Railway was located next to Hengfeng Road, which was the original site of Shanghai Station. At that time, this station was the easternmost station of Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, so it was also called East Station.
At present, Shanghai Railway Station adopts the scheme of north-south opening and low AG export. When entering the station, enter from two entrances from south to north. At the same time, a VIP waiting entrance and a VIP waiting room are also set up at the entrance, so that passengers who get off the bus can leave the station quickly through the underground passage, which shortens the walking distance of passengers and greatly saves time.
