New Suzhou railway station opened to the public on July 1, 2010. It is a major station on the huning intercity rail and future su-jia-hang intercity rail.

The station is located in the north of city Suzhou, and it has five floors which three (B1, B2, and B3) are underground and two (1F, and 2F) are on the ground. By its planning, B2 and B3 is reserved for city metro line 2 and 4, B1 for taxi cabs etc.. Now 1F in the station is a lounge for trains which start from Suzhou to Shanghai, and 2F is a lounge for trains to Nanjing and trains via Suzhou to Shanghai etc..

Station has 32 entrance fare gates and 21 exit fare gates. It has 1200 chairs for passengers, 3 information kiosks, and 2 machines for due ticket fare. However, 500 more chairs have been set up because of crowded traffic. Now New train station transports more than 100K passengers in and out daily.

Station has three ticket offices now, and they are intercity automatic ticket booking office (18 TVMs), Station No. 1 booking office (19 ticket windows), and temporary booking office (15 windows). The first two ticket offices are to sell high speed train tickets only.

New train station is not completed all yet, there have several projects undergoing and all plan to be completed in March, 2011.

New train station is in the north to old Suzhou train station. Due to construction now, passengers who need to transit to high speed trains from old station have to go underpass then elevated bridge to new CRH station.

BTW, new Suzhou railway station is in use, and now old Suzhou main station is close to re-model. It is planned to be completed in 2012.

If you need a taxi ride in Suzhou, this is a taxi charge in Suzhou. But be aware black taxi cabs, and it may be not easy to call taxis as in Shanghai.

If train tickets are sold out, Suzhou North coach bus station is probably an option to travel in Yangtze delta area. Coach bus station is next to the train station, and before it will be ready in November, there have shuttle buses from Suzhou railway station to North coach bus station.
