Wangjing Xi (W)[1] (Chinese: 望京西站; pinyin: Wàngjīng Xī Zhàn) is an interchange station between Lines 13 and 15 on the Beijing Subway. The station was the western terminus of Line 15 until it was extended west to Qinghua Donglu Xikou on December 28, 2014.

There are plans to have the future Line 17 stop here as well.

History[]

Original dual-island line 13 platforms in May 2010. These platforms are filled up now.

Wangjing West was originally going to be the terminus for the Capital Airport Express, so when the station was built in 2003, it was designed with dual-island platforms.[2] Due to the Capital Airport Express instead terminating at Dongzhimen, the reserved platforms for the Capital Airport Express were never used and track was never laid down. In late 2010, the unused tracks were filled when line 15 started serving the station.[3]

Station Layout[]

The line 13 station has 2 at-grade side platforms. The line 15 station has an underground island platform.

Exits[]

There are 4 exits, lettered A, B, C, and D. Exits A and B are accessible.
