Foshan West Railway Station (Chinese: 佛山西站; pinyin: Fóshānxī Zhàn; Jyutping: Fat6saan1 Sai1 Zaam6) is a station on Line 3 of Foshan Metro, located in Foshan's Nanhai District underneath Foshan West railway station. It opened on August 23, 2024.




Station theme


This station is one of the featured stations of the initial section of Line 3, with the design of the concourse adopting the Lingnan architectural style, showing the style "Xiangyunsha silk" of Shunde Lunjiao as the element, extracting its wave form and showing it in the spatial form.




History


At the time of the design of the Foshan West Station of the high-speed railway, it was determined that the metro station would be pre-built in the underground space under the station building. At that time, during the early stage of the "eight-line planning" in Foshan, it was planned that Foshan Metro Line 3 and the original Line 8 would intersect at Foshan West Railway Station, so the subway station was designed as two island platforms, the west island platform was used by Line 8, and the east island platform was used by Line 3. Due to the fact that this station is the terminal station of Line 8 and needs to set up a switchback line, the two lines do not use the same platform transfer design but transfer through the shared concourse. In 2014, Foshan Metro was revised, and the current Line 4 replaced the original Line 8, and the island platform on the west side was changed to Line 4. Although the station has been changed to an intermediate station on Line 4, the design of the station has not been changed to a parallel transfer between Line 3 and Line 4. Subsequently, the design of the pre-built metro station decided to deepen the station by a floor, and add a transfer passageway under the platform level to connect the two island platforms, separating the flow of transfer passengers from the flow of passengers entering and leaving the station. Subsequently, according to the relevant announcement of the Nanhai Branch of the Foshan Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources, a central island platform was added to the station, which can be used to transfer to the same platform in some directions of Lines 3 and 4.
On August 23, 2024, this station opened with the "Lianhe to Foshan University" section of Line 3.




Station layout


The station has 3 island platforms under Foshan West railway station.




Exits


Since its initial opening, the station has 2 one-way exits and 4 one-way entrances.




Future development


In the future, this station will be one of the two interchange stations of between Foshan Metro Line 3 and Line 4. Both lines are parallel, and the two-line station structure has been reserved in the station during the construction of Foshan West Railway Station. According to the platform configuration, the platform of Line 3 in the direction of Shunde Port and the platform of Line 4 in the direction of Beijiang Dadao adopts the Spanish solution, and the doors of both sides will be opened when the train in these two directions arrives at the station. Therefore, passengers arriving at the station by train in these two directions can get off at the central platform and walk to the platform opposite it, and directly transfer to the train in the corresponding direction of the other line to reach the destination. Transfers in other directions require a detour through the transfer tunnel below the platform, or through the concourse. In addition, another station has been built under the north square of Foshan West Railway Station in advance, and a transfer node leading to the platform of the station has been reserved at the central platform of Line 3 and Line 4. The station was originally planned to be used for the branch line of Guangzhou Metro Line 28, but the construction of the branch line of Guangzhou Line 28 has been shelved, and the future ownership and development of the reserved station is still unclear.
