Future development

Northern extension (Xinbaiguang intercity railway)

It is planned in the future to extend this railway further north eventually extending to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and Guangzhou North railway station. The extension from Xintang South to Guangzhou North is also known as Xinbaiguang intercity railway (Chinese: 新白广城际铁路).[19]

Southern extension

Originally, the Suishen ICR was planned to enter central Shenzhen. The line was cut back to Shenzhen Airport in 2010. The expansion of the line south of Shenzhen Airport was proposed again in 2019 but this time only up to Qianhai.[20] [21] The extension will be underground, long with three stations.[22] In June 2020, NDRC approved a further extension beyond Qianhai deeper in to central Shenzhen. The extension will add about of line and additionally serve Baishizhou and Huanggang Port. The southern extension is expected to be complete in 2025.[23]

Others

There are also possible links with the proposed Hong Kong–Shenzhen Western Express Railway, allowing for cross-border services and an eventual rail link between Hong Kong Airport with Shenzhen Airport and Guangzhou Airport.
