History
The Beijing–Guangzhou railway once had a "Letong Station" between Juntian Station and Huadu Station (Guangzhou North railway station), which began to operate as early as the opening of the Guangshao section of the Guangzhou–Hankou railway. In 1934, there were four timetabled services on the timetable. The Hengguang Railway was abolished on 30 September 1988 after the line was double tracked.[2] There are still line stations left, with two guard posts.
This station was originally planned to be named Automobile Institute and originally planned to branch from the station to the current Baiyun Airport North station,[3] and later the branch line was included in the new Baiguang City Railway project. Later, the station name was changed to Shibei,[4] and the construction of the main body and ancillary facilities was completed on October 20, 2017.[5] In 2020, it was named Letong. On 30 November the same year, the station opened with the opening of the Guangzhou-Qingyuan Intercity Railway.[1]
