to begin commercial operations Friday, and a change of schedules will also take effect then, the operator said Thursday.
The addition of the Nangang stop will bring the number of stations along the 339-kilometer north-south line to 12, said Taiwan High-Speed Rail Corp. (THSRC).
When the new Nangang Station goes into operation, it will replace Taipei Main Station as the starting point for southbound trains on the line, THSRC said.
As part of the change, the first trains of the day on either end of the line will depart at 6:15 a.m. instead of 6:30 a.m., THSRC said. [FULL STORY]
