● Transformation problem
Pingnan Railway and its Shenzhen West Station cannot carry out capacity expansion for a long time because of small scale, location and lack of funds
[19]
At the same time, there is a certain contradiction with the construction and development of the free trade area around Qianhai
[3]
.
In 2019, the relevant departments of Shenzhen City carried out pre-feasibility research on the transformation of Pingnan Railway, and in the future, Pingnan Railway mainly assumes the function of sea-rail combined transport, that is, railway freight function, and no longer assumes the function of railway passenger transport
[21]
.
Since its official operation in 1994, Pingnan Railway has assumed the functions of Shenzhen's external long-distance high-speed passenger transport and western port evacuation. In addition to helping the development of Shenzhen's western port area, it has also played a huge role in long-distance travel of Shenzhen citizens and migrant workers to and from Shenzhen, especially providing great support for the annual Spring Festival travel.
