The Lingbao West railway station (Chinese: 灵宝西站) is a railway station of Zhengxi Passenger Railway located in Lingbao City, Henan, China.[1] The station was among the eight new passenger stations and one passing stations commissioned for the Zhengzhou‒Xi’an Railway project.[2] Construction for this project reportedly commenced on 25 September 2005.[2] Trial operations reportedly started on 28 December 2009, and commencement of commercial operations on 6 February 2010.[2]
The station building has received criticism for its appearance. It has been listed by Hong Kong–based English language news media publishing group Asia Times as an “undisputed eyesore“.[3]
The station is serviced by the G-train on the Xuzhou–Lanzhou High-Speed Railway.[1] Departing from Xuzhou to Lanzhou, it is preceded by the station of Sanmenxia South, and followed by the Huashan North station.[1]
