History
editLine 3 was approved in 2012, and in 2019, when the line was adjusted, this station was not included.[1][2][3] In 2022, Foshan authorities planned to introduce Line 3 at the new Foshan high-speed rail station of the Guangzhou–Zhanjiang high-speed railway, which was confirmed by the Foshan Rail Transit Bureau in June of the same year.[4] Eventually, the station was named Foshan Railway Station (with the extra words 'high-speed' (高铁) added in Chinese), and the relevant design scheme of the station was officially approved on August 15, 2022, and it is planned to be opened simultaneously with the Foshan Railway Station of the Guangzhou–Zhanjiang High-speed Railway.[5][6]
On July 28, 2024, the construction of this station will start together with the new Foshan Station.[7] Since this station was only added after the construction of Line 3 started for a period of time, the tunnel segments that have been built between Lianhe and Dunhou of Line 3 will be removed during the construction of the station, which means that Line 3 is also unable to pass through this station and needs to be operated in sections.[8][9]
Station layout
editThe station has an island platform.

Future development
editThe planned Line 7 and Line 15 will pass through the station, and the construction of the Foshan Station of the Guangzhou–Zhanjiang High-speed Railway will include a reservation for civil works on the second basement floor of the station, and the main structure will intersect with the Line 3 station at 68°.[8]
