Line 12 of the Dalian Metro, formerly known as Tram Route 202 Extension Line, Line R2, or Dalian–Lüshunkou intercity railway (Chinese: 大连旅顺口城际轨道交通; pinyin: Dàlián Lǚshùnkǒu Chéngjì Guǐdào Jiāotōng), is a rapid transit line running in northern Dalian. It opened on 30 December 2013. This line connects central Dalian with Lüshunkou over 40.38 kilometres (25.09 mi) with eight stations from east to west. This line begins at Hekou Station and stretches southwest ending at Lüshunxingang Station. Similar to Line R3 all the stations have side platforms with tracks in the platform area have no ballast (gravel); however, tracks outside the station are on ballast. Also all stations are covered by a combination of transparent corrugated sheets and a concrete roof.^[1] In October 2017, most station names were re-translated from Pinyin into conventional English.
