SRT trains from Dongtan Station use reserved seating, so passengers should book a specific train and seat before departure. Standard and First Class seats may be available depending on the service. During Chuseok, Seollal, weekends, and Friday evening departures from the Seoul area, earlier booking is recommended because the Suseo-Dongtan corridor and southbound SRT services can sell out.

For intercity rail tickets, Dongtan Station remains the main Hwaseong search point on Rail Monsters.

Do high-speed trains serve Hwaseong?

Yes. Hwaseong is served by SRT high-speed trains at Dongtan Station, operated by SR. SRT links Dongtan with Suseo in Seoul and with southbound high-speed corridors across South Korea.
