History

This station opened on 29 December 2012 as Jiangmen South with the freight-only Guangzhou–Zhuhai railway.[1]

In March 2017, the name of the station was changed to Jiangmen in preparation for its reconstruction as a passenger hub. At the same time, a different station previously called Jiangmen had its name changed to Jiangmen East railway station.[2]

The Guangzhou–Zhuhai intercity railway branch was extended from its former terminus at Xinhui railway station south to Jiangmen to meet the first stage of the Shenzhen–Zhanjiang high-speed railway. Through services from Zhanjiang West to Guangzhou South began on 1 July 2018, though trains skipped the still under construction Jiangmen railway station.[3]

The station was opened to passengers on 15 November 2020.[4]
