Seoul (Metropolitan) Subway Line 1 of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, is a commuter rail service which links central Seoul, South Korea to Soyosan Station in the northeast, Incheon in the southwest, and Sinchang via Suwon and Cheonan in the south. The central underground portion of this rail line is the oldest subway section in the Seoul Metropolitan Subway system; the entire rail line covers a large part of the Seoul Capital Area. The underground section between Seoul Station and Cheongnyangni Station, which is referred to as Seoul Metro Line 1 (7.8 kilometers (4.8 mi)), is currently operated by Seoul Metro.[1] The line first opened in 1974 as the Korean National Railroad of Seoul, partially using overground national railroad tracks from Seongbuk Station (now: Kwangwoon University Station) to Incheon and Suwon Stations.[citation needed] At the time, the underground portion of Line 1 run by Seoul Metro, was labeled red on maps. On the other hand, the remaining sections of the rail line run by Korail were labeled either blue or gray on maps, and the express lines were red. In 2000, the adjacent through-running Korail lines were officially bundled together as part of a greater Line 1, and the labeling on maps was changed to the current dark blue color. Commuter railway service was recently was extended to Sinchang in December 2008.[citation needed]
Frequent service is provided between Soyosan, Dongducheon, Uijeongbu, Cheongnyangni, Seoul, Yongsan, and Guro, where trains split between Incheon in the west and Byeongjeom and Cheonan in the south. Express trains operate from Yongsan and Seoul Stations to Dongincheon and Cheonan stations.
Trains travel along Gyeongbu (Seoul-Cheonan), Gyeongin (Guro-Incheon), Janghang (Cheonan-Sinchang) and Gyeongwon (Hoegi-Soyosan).
In June 2006, Jinwi and Jije Stations opened on the Gyeongbu Line. In January 2010 Dangjeong Station opened, between Gunpo and Uiwang Stations. Part of the Gyeongwon Line from Dongducheon (formerly Dongan) to Uijeongbu was merged into Line 1 in December 2006.
The line runs on the left-hand side of the track, as opposed to the right-hand side of the track like all of the other Seoul Metropolitan Subway lines do.[2]

Rapid (Express) trains
Korail operates a variety of express "rapid" (급행) trains for long distance commuter services on Line 1. These services include:
- Gyeongin line express services from Yongsan to Dongincheon, operating express between Guro and Dongincheon (although one train on weeknights originates from Yangju and travels all the way to Incheon and operates express from Guro to Dongincheon). This service was introduced on January 29, 1999.
- Gyeongwon line express services from Dongducheon (although several trains originate from Soyosan) to Incheon, operating express between Dongducheon and Kwangwoon University and run local train between Incheon and Kwangwoon University.
- Gyeongbu line express services, including:
- Yongsan-Cheonan ("A" and "B" express services), with "B" express services making fewer stops than the "A" services.
- Seoul Station-Cheonan (green express), skipping all stations between Seoul Station and Geumcheon-gu Office Station, making intermediate stops at Anyang, Gunpo, and Uiwang and then following the "A" express service pattern. This service was introduced on October 20, 1982.
- Yeongdeungpo-Byeongjeom ("C" express service), skipping all stations between Yeongdeungpo and Anyang and then following the "A" express service pattern until Byeongjeom. This service was introduced on August 25, 2014.
