Geumcheon-gu Office Station, formerly known as Siheung Station, is a station on the

Pyeongtaek and Cheonan
Stations via the Gyeongbu Line.

In addition, a

spur line (also a part of Line 1) between this station and Gwangmyeong Station on the KTX
serves to link high-speed trains and commuter rail.

The name of the station was changed from Siheung to its current name on December 29, 2008. The main reason for the change was because of the confusion with Siheung, a city located southwest of here.
