Beijing Railway Station
To alleviate the transport pressure on the Beijing Railway Station, the Beijing Municipal Government and the Ministry of Railways in 1980 started the planning and construction of Beijing's second passenger station and hence the Beijing West Railway Station was completed in 1996, which provided transportation links for the Beijing-Kowloon Line and the Beijing-Guangzhou Line and helped alleviate pressure on the Beijing Railway Station - this led to a reduction in passenger traffic for the Beijing Railway Station to twenty million people.
