Changping North railway station (Chinese: 昌平北站; pinyin: chāngpíng běi zhàn), also known as Changpingbei railway station, is a railway station in Gulou North Street in the urban area of Changping District, Beijing. The old station started construction in 1976 and opened on 1 May 1980, with the whole Beijing–Tongliao railway. All services were stopped between June and October in 2016 to build a new station. On 1 November 2016, the new station opened, with its waiting hall expanded to 2,987 square metres (32,150 sq ft).[1] This station became the new terminal of all long-distance trains whose terminal used to be Beijing North railway station.[citation needed] On 31 December 2017, the suburban railway Huairou-Miyun line opened, and this station started to offer services for suburban railway passengers.[2]
This new station was constructed by China Railway 6th Engineering Group from 1 June 2016 to 30 October 2016.[1] The renovation was for sparing the old Beijing-Baotou railway to build the Beijing–Zhangjiakou intercity railway.
