Line 1 (Beijing Subway)

Line 1 of the Beijing Subway (Chinese: 北京地铁1号线; pinyin: běijīng dìtiě yīhào xiàn) is the oldest and one of the busiest lines of Beijing's mass transit rail network. Line 1 runs underneath Chang'an Avenue, the city's grand east–west thoroughfare, right through the heart of Beijing with stops on either side of Tiananmen Square. Line 1's color is      red. As the oldest line of the Beijing Subway, Line 1 was also the most heavily used from the time the subway opened in 1969 until January 2013, when the near-completion of the Line 10 loop caused ridership on that line to surge past Line 1. Recent traffic relief efforts have been completed in recent years. The opening of the first phase of the parallel Line 6, caused an 8.46% decrease in daily demand and a 10-20% reduction in peak flow during rush hour.[8] In addition Beijing BRT line 2 parallels the eastern section of Line 1. However, during peak hours, sections of the line were reported in 2013 to still operate above 100% capacity.[8]

History
Yuquanlu Station, Opened in August 5, 1971. The first phase of the Beijing subway project groundbreaking ceremony was held west of Yuquanlu Road.

The first section of subway in Beijing officially started trial operation on January 15, 1971. It was 10.7 km (6.6 mi) long and ran between Beijing railway station to Gongzhufen[lower-alpha 1], which today is a section of Line 1 and 2.[12] A few months later, on August 15, 1971 the line was extended 3 stations west, to Yuquanlu. The line was extended again to Gucheng in November. On April 23, 1973, the line was extended Pingguoyuan, at this point the line is 23.6 km (14.7 mi) long with 17 stations.[12] On September 15, 1981 the line was again extended westward to Fushouling creating a 27.6 km (17.1 mi) long line with 19 stations. The line was transferred to the newly created Beijing Mass Transit Operation Corporation and was officially opened to the public, ending the decade long trial operation period. By 1981, the annual passenger volume of Beijing Subway was 64.66 million passengers, with a daily average of 177,000 passenger trips.[13]

On August 15, 1986, the second phase of subway construction started and a feasibility study on the construction of the new line between of Fuxingmen to Bawangfen (Today's Beijing CBD) was carried out. A new branch heading east to a new station, Fuxingmen, was completed between Nanlishilu and Changchunjie stations on December 28, 1987. The section between Changchunjie and Beijing Railway Station was transferred to the newly created Line 2 and Line 1 ran between Pingguoyuan and Fuxingmen stations. In January 1991, the feasibility study report on the construction of a new line between Fuxingmen to Bawangfen was approved with construction of the new "Fuba line", starting in June 1992. On December 12, 1992, Line 1 was extended east for one station to Xidan. In 1994, Line 1's signals were upgraded to automatic train protection system.[14] On September 28, 1999, the first section of the Fuba line between Tian'anmen East to Sihui East was opened. On June 28, 2000, the section between Xidan and Tian'anmen East stations opened, merging Line 1 and the Fuba Line to create a 31 km (19 mi) line with 23 stations.[14]

Due to platform congestion and suicides, a proposal was made in 2010 to refit all stations on Line 1 with platform screen doors.[15] However, the ventilation system in the older stations of Line 1 was incompatible with full-height platform screen doors, so half height platform screen doors were chosen instead.[16] In the meantime between 2014 and 2015, Line 1 again upgraded its signals to a communications-based train control system allowing trains to run headways down to 2 minutes during rush hour. In July 2016, the operator began installing platform screen doors on Line 1.[17] In 2016, the platform screen doors was installed at Yong'anli station.[18] By the end of 2017, all stations were retrofitted with half-height platform screen doors, and all the screen doors were put into operation for the first time.[19]

Line 1 train at Wangfujing in 2007.
In 1992, Line 1 was extended east one station to Xidan.

In 2017, safety doors were installed on the platform of Line 1.

Restricted stations
Main article: Beijing Subway restricted stations

Beyond Pingguoyuan, Line 1 extends further northwest where it has several other stations including 54# Heishitou (黑石头), 53#/No. 101 Gaojing (高井) and 52#/No. 102 Fushouling (福寿岭). Gaojing and Heishitou are in the military region. Fushouling is actually outside the military region. These stations are not open for public use.

Fushouling station will open to public in several years.[20] The station will also serve the nearby Beijing Banking & Insurance Business Park (北京银行保险产业园).[21]

Future plans

Through operations with the Batong Line

In 2010, a CPPCC member Chen Dingwang, proposed that services on Line 1 and the Batong Line should directly link, with through operations, reducing travel times and removing the unnecessary forced transfers at Sihui East or Sihui.[22] However, the Beijing Subway responded that Line 1's and Batong's signal systems are completely different, so through-operation will be more difficult to achieve, from an engineering standpoint. As of 2016, preliminary design and feasibility studies are underway to allow for through operations between Line 1 and Batong.[23]

The through operation will be started in 2021.[24]

Increasing capacity
The platforms of some Line 1 stations are much longer than the trains used on the line.

Due to Line 1's severe overcapacity problem, there are plans to introduce seven-car or longer trains.[25] In order for this plan to proceed the oldest section of Line 1 between Pingguoyuan and Nanlishilu, which only has platforms long enough to accommodate six-car trains, will need to be lengthened. The newer section between Fuxingmen and Sihui East has platforms long enough for 8 car trains. Due to the high cost of extending the platforms of the underground stations the plan is currently put on hold. In the future a parallel express line called Line 18 will run beside or under Line 1 stopping only at major stations.
