The KTX and Mugunghwa trains serve the Yeongju to Samtan route. The KTX, a high-speed train, operates at speeds of up to 300 km/h, making the journey more efficient, typically taking around 2.5 to 3 hours depending on stops. The Mugunghwa train, while slower, provides a more scenic ride, traveling at speeds up to 130 km/h and taking approximately 4.5 to 5 hours to complete the trip. Both options offer comfortable seating and onboard facilities.
