Pyongyang Station is the central railway station of Pyongyang, North Korea. The station is the start of the Pyongbu and Pyongui Line, which were adjusted from the Kyongbu and Kyongui Lines used before the division of Korea to accommodate the shift of the capital from Seoul to Pyongyang. The Pyongui Line runs from Pyongyang to Sinuiju, while the Pyongbu Line theoretically runs through Seoul and ends at Busan; in practice, however, the line ends at Kaesong. It is also served by the Pyongnam Line, which runs from Pyongyang to Nampo.
