Gongju is a smaller but important stop on South Korea's high-speed rail network, positioned on the Honam high-speed railway between the Seoul area and the southwest. The city is served by one main passenger rail facility, Gongju Station, with KTX services operated by Korail and SRT services operated by SR. Trains from Gongju include high-speed KTX and SRT services rather than a large spread of conventional intercity trains. Gongju Station handles reserved-seat long-distance trains on the Honam corridor, linking the city with major transfer hubs in the Seoul area, North Chungcheong, North Jeolla, and South Jeolla. There is no direct airport rail station in Gongju, so airport-bound passengers usually connect through larger rail hubs. Rail routes from Gongju run north toward Osong, Cheonan-Asan, Seoul, Yongsan, and Suseo, and south toward Iksan, Jeongeup, Gwangju-Songjeong, Naju, and Mokpo. For train tickets, check whether your departure uses Korail KTX or SR SRT because Seoul-area stations differ by operator. Book trains from and to Gongju online at Rail Monsters.
