Yesterday, new metro line opened in Suzhou, China(昨天、苏州地铁1号线通车)

Suzhou became the second city that had a metro line in Jiansu, following Nanjing.
The line is 25 km with 24 stations. But, The line isn't connected with Suzhou Railway Station(苏州火车站). Line 2 will play a role as the line connecting Suzhou Railway Station and Suzhou North Station(苏州北站), which is on Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Rail Line. The planned name of interchange station near Suzhou North Station on Suzhou Metro Line 2 is "Suzhou High-Speed Station(苏州高速站)".


The most interesting plan is that trains on Suzhou Metro S1 Line will run through to Shanghai Metro Line 11 via Kunshan Metro Line 1.
I'll show you easier explanation.


Italic letters are planned or under construction.
Suzhou Metro S1 Line(苏州市域S1线) - Yangcheng Lake Station(阳澄湖站) - Kunshan Metro Line 1(昆山轨道交通1号线) - Huaqiao Station(花桥站) - Shanghai Metro Line 11(上海轨道交通11号线) - Anting Station(安亭站) - Shanghai Metro Line 11(上海轨道交通11号线) - Jiangsu Road Station(江苏路站) - Shanghai Metro Line 11(上海轨道交通11号线) - Shanghai Disney Land(迪士尼乐园站)


So, some residents in Suzhou and in Kunshan will be able to go to Shanghai Disney Land without transferring trains.
