History
Original dual-island line 13 platforms in May 2010. These platform are filled up now.

Wangjing West was originally going to be the terminus for the Capital Airport Express, so when the station was built in 2003, it was designed with dual-island platforms.[2] Due to the Capital Airport Express instead terminating at Dongzhi Men, the reserved platforms for the Capital Airport Express were never used and track was never laid down. In late 2010, the unused tracks were filled when line 15 started serving the station.[3]

Station Layout

The line 13 station has 2 at-grade side platforms. The line 15 station has an underground island platform.
