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 into the 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[17] (新白广城际铁路).

Southern extension

There is also a planned extension from Shenzhen Airport to Xixiang, Bao'an and Qianhai.[2]

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.
