Description

The station is one of Beijing's busiest, having handled a peak entry and exit traffic of 100,000 people on May 5, 2013.[2] The station has full platform doors inside. Exit A leads directly into the basement of the Viva Mall.

History

Shuangjing station was designated to be the interchange between Line 7 and Line 10. However, the Line 10 platforms were not originally designed to handle additional interchange traffic. At around 10 meters wide, the single center platform is one of the narrowest on Line 10. Beijing Subway authorities determined that the narrow platform will not be able to serve the large transfer volumes between Lines 7 and 10. Therefore, on December 28, 2014 when Line 7 opened, trains on Line 7 did not stop at this station even though the station's Line 7 platforms are complete.[3]

Plans were completed for an interchange hall in the northeast corner of Shuangjing Overpass, and an underground transfer corridor on the south side of the Third Ring Road Overpass.[4] Construction started in February 2019.[5] The station for Line 7 was opened on December 28, 2019.[1]

Station Layout

Both the line 7 and 10 stations have underground island platforms.
