Talk:Seoul Subway Line 1

The Japanese and the rock musical

More mention should be made about the history of line one and the Japanese. I will start digging around. I also think that there needs to be an article for the rock musical, Subway Line 1, longest running musical in Korean history, and it should be linked here.

Nesnad, in the article I mentioned "a Korean official." He is Paik Sun-Yup and I referred to his book Wakaki shōgun no Chōsen sensō 若き将軍の朝鮮戦争. He was the Minister of Transportation and launched the construction of Seoul Subway Line 1 although he resigned shortly before its opening. So I think the episode I put in the article is credible. --Nanshu 14:19, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Nanshu, but the English is incorrect and its POV. Even if it is credible, it takes a side, and we shouldn't do that in Wiki. If I'm wrong, let me know. I'm open to all ideas, if they are not taking sides and they are NPOV. Nesnad 2 July 2005 21:09 (UTC)

Gyeongwon Line

What is the relationship between Line 1 and the Gyeongwon Line? Are they actually identical -- that is, when I take a train on the Gyeongwon Line to Uijeongbu, am I actually taking the subway? Or is it the more normal relationship, where subway and Mugunghwa trains run side-by-side, but stop at different platforms and use different tickets?

Currently a number of station tables suggest that the two are identical. Unless that's true, we need to do some fixing up. -- Visviva 04:59, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I can understand your opinion, of course, but not really. I think it is not true. Actually, Line 1 operates via 4 Korean National Railroads, including Gyeongwon Line. In other words, Line 1 runs on Gyeongwon Line between Soyosan Station and Hoegi Station. Therefore, Line 1 can seem to be single subway line, but not single Common Railroad line. For example, this is the subway plan of Seoul Metropolitan City Government in 1960s.

Written in Korean:
(I) 서울 도심부를 관통하여 주변지역에 이르는 5개 노선 연장 약 133㎞의 지하철도망을 건설키로 하고, 우선 제1호선을 서울역에서 청량리역까지의 연장 9.5㎞로 한다.

(II) 수도권내의 기존철도를 전철화하여 지하철 1호선을 연결, 일괄 수송케 함으로써 도시교통에 활용한다.
(III) 1962년 이후의 경제개발계획에 의하여 훈련된 많은 기술자 및 숙련공이 양성되어 있고, 그 대표적인 분야는 철도건설, 도로, 항만, 수력 및 화력발전, 도시토목, 통신, 전자공업분야이다. 그간의 경험에 따르면 지하철건설사업에 있어서는 전기 및 기계 등 특수부분의 설계를 제외하고는 한국의 국내기술자에 의한 건설이 가능하다고 판단된다.
(IV) 일부 특수재를 제외하고 대부분의 토목건축 자재는 한국에서 생산이 가능하다. 궤도용품에 있어서는 중량 레일을 제외하고는 대부분 국산이 가능하나, 나무 침목 등은 산림자원 보호정책에 의하여 외자에 의존하는 경우가 많다.
(V) 전기·통신·신호용품 등 전기기자재는 대형정류기·고압용 애자·계전기 등 시장성이 미약한 미개발품을 제외하고는 대부분 국산공급이 가능하고 신호통신·기계·차량용품 등은 대부분 외자에 의존한다.

I'm very sorry that I can't translate these paragraphs.

Map

Does anyone have a good program for making subway-style maps? If so, I'd be interested, if for no other reason then because this page lacks one with all the stations' names. JPBarrass 11:21, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Seoksu Station

Seoksu Station is listed here under the "in Seoul" list, yet, on its page on the Korean Wikipedia, its address is in Anyang. Can anyone confirm which side of the border the station is, please? JPBarrass 16:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I think I've confirmed it myself using [same page], which quotes the phone number as 031-472-7788, a Gyeonggi-do number, so the station building is definitely in Anyang and I will move the entry in the table accordingly. JPBarrass 10:51, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Though no-one else seems at all interested in this (!), here's the upshot. The building's in Anyang, but the platforms are in Seoul. JPBarrass (talk) 09:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Korean text

I added Korean text (wiki-linked to the Korean article) for Gasan Digital Complex because there appears to be no English language article for this station. Please do not remove this. I will add further Korean text to the other station names as time permits. 220.76.15.52 (talk) 03:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Seodongtan station

Line 1 to ShinChang, Here Seodongtan station can be seen

A new station is going to be added to Line 1, Seodongtan. It is not clear to me how it will be added. There is some information in the Korean version. In the English wiki it's missing. In this page it should be mentioned at "Connecting Line" of Byeongjeom station(P157)
I uploaded a picture of the sign from Dandjeong (I also used it to fix the P1xx stations numbers) Ron64 (talk) 15:21, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Seperate subject and change the title

In korea, Seoul Metropolitan Subway 1(수도권 전철 1호선) is separate as Seoul city own sector (Seoul subway line 1) and national own sector.

So, we need to this.

1. Change title as 'Seoul metropolitan subway 1' 2. Make new subject 'Seoul Subway line 1'(Seoul city own sector: Seoul-Cheongnyangni)
