History

The station opened in 1911 as a freight and Level 3 passenger station (三等站) on the Kowloon–Canton Railway. Initial renovation works commenced in 2004. The station building was demolished in April 2008, and work began on the construction of a new passenger hub that was completed by the end of October 2012.

In September 2012, it was announced that the new station would be named "Shenzhen East Station".

Structure

The renovated station began operating 21 December 2012.

Line 5.[3]

Train services

C8004, a
Guangzhou–Shenzhen Railway
intercity train, is passing through Shenzhen East railway station without stopping.

The new Shenzhen East will handle middle- and long-distance, lower-speed trains, including trains to

Guangdong Province, for example, and its current long-distance trains to Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guilin and Fuzhou will be relocated to Shenzhen East in the future.[citation needed
]

This station was initially designed for stopping by

Guangzhou–Shenzhen Railway intercity trains but the plan was abandoned after construction was nearly completed, [citation needed] and Pinghu
has become the additional station for intercity trains afterwards.

Shenzhen East station is now mainly used for non-high-speed services, while starting 10 January 2024, a pair of regularly operating "D-suffix" train, namely D146/7、D148/5, heading to Zhengzhou station is added where CR200J1-C trains[4] are in use as at January 2024.
