Dongguan West railway station (simplified Chinese: 东莞西站; traditional Chinese: 東莞西站; pinyin: Dōngguān Xī Zhàn; Cantonese Yale: Dūnggún Sāi Jaahm) is a railway station in Hongmei, Dongguan, Guangdong, China.
The station has two levels. The lower level has east–west platforms which serve the Guangzhou–Huizhou intercity railway, of which it was the western terminus until the Guangzhou section opened on 26 May 2024.[1][2][3] The upper level has north–south platforms which serve the Guangzhou–Shenzhen intercity railway.
The station is served by Line 1 of the Dongguan Rail Transit.
There is a convenient transfer channel on the concourse on the second floor of this station, which allows passengers on the Guanghui/Suishen lines to transfer through the convenient transfer gate without leaving the station and re-checking.[4]
On 23 January 2024, Guangdong Intercity Railway Operation Co., Ltd. took over the operation of Guanghui Intercity, and the Guanghui section of this station was officially handed over to the company. On 23 April, the security checks of Suishen section and Guanghui section of this station were mutually recognized, and passengers did not need to re-check when transferring between the two stations.[5]
