## Train and Metro Services

### AREX Airport Railroad

AREX All-Stop trains connect Gimpo Airport with Seoul Station and Incheon International Airport.

Eastbound trains travel towards Digital Media City, Hongik University, Gongdeok and Seoul Station.

Westbound trains travel towards Incheon Airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.

The AREX Express Train between Seoul Station and Incheon Airport does not normally stop at Gimpo Airport, so passengers should use an All-Stop train.

### Seoul Metro Line 5

Line 5 provides services between western Seoul, the city centre and eastern districts.

Eastbound trains travel towards Yeouido, Gwanghwamun, Jongno 3-ga, Dongdaemun History & Culture Park and Wangsimni.

Line 5 is useful for destinations along the northern side of the Han River, although it is generally slower than AREX for Seoul Station.

### Seoul Metro Line 9

Line 9 connects Gimpo Airport with southern Seoul.

Eastbound local and express services travel towards Yeouido, Express Bus Terminal, Sinnonhyeon and destinations farther east.

Express trains skip many intermediate stations and are usually the fastest option for major Line 9 destinations. Check the platform display to distinguish express and local services.

### Gimpo Goldline

The Gimpo Goldline connects the airport with Gimpo city.

Trains travel towards Gochon, Pungmu, Sau, Unyang and Yangchon. Services can become very crowded during weekday commuting periods.

### Seohae Line

The Seohae Line connects Gimpo Airport with areas north and south of Seoul.

Northbound services travel towards Daegok and Ilsan, while southbound trains serve Bucheon, Siheung and destinations towards the Ansan area.

## Transfers Between Lines

Transfers between all five services are available within the connected station complex.

Some routes involve long corridors, escalators and several changes of level. Follow the coloured signs for the required line and allow additional time when carrying luggage.

Passengers transferring between flights and trains should also account for the walk between the station and the correct airport terminal.

## Airport Terminals and Exits

Exit 1 provides access towards the domestic terminal, where most flights within South Korea depart and arrive.

Exit 2 serves the international terminal, which handles selected regional international flights.

Always confirm the terminal on the airline booking before travelling. Gimpo Airport is separate from Incheon International Airport, and passengers should not confuse the two airports.

## Buses and Taxis

Airport buses and local buses depart from stops outside both terminals.

Taxi pickup areas are available outside the domestic and international terminal buildings. Follow signs for the official taxi ranks rather than arranging pickup inside the station.

Road travel times can vary significantly during busy periods, particularly on routes towards central Seoul.

## Station Facilities
