Xiaojinkou railway station is a railway station in Huicheng District, Huizhou, Guangdong, China. It opened on March 30, 2016.[1] The station is located on Huizhou Boulevard, and has an island and two side platforms.[2] [3] The station currently serves as the eastern terminus of the Guangzhou–Huizhou intercity railway until the section to Huizhou North railway station opens.

The station has 4 exits, lettered A-D. Exit D was used in the past when the station first opened,[4] but was later changed to only use Exit C.

History

As a supporting station connecting to Huizhou North railway station, this station was named North Coach Terminal in the early planning stage, but at that time, it was only reserved for the long term and was planned as an elevated station.[5] After the construction of the Huizhou Boulevard section of the Dongguan–Huizhou Intercity Railway (now Guangzhou–Huizhou intercity railway) started in 2009, the Huizhou Municipal Government continued to strive to adjust the line underground in order to avoid the elevated line cutting the city and the construction of the elevated line affecting urban traffic.[6]

In 2010, after the Ministry of Railways intervened in the construction of the Pearl River Delta Metropolitan Region intercity railway, the line scheme was redesigned, and the line through Huizhou Boulevard was changed to underground, and the station was also changed to a non-reserved underground station and named Huizhou North Coach Terminal.[7]

At the end of 2015, the station was named Xiaojinkou.[8]
