The Suin Line is being rebuilt from Suwon to Incheon and this will merge with Bundang Line en route, both of which will run services to Incheon. Incheon will become Station 161 (Line 1) and K269 (Suin Line). The Wolmido Galaxy Rail, which was since cancelled, would have also served Incheon Station.
