Seoul Metropolitan Subway rolling stock

Interior of Korail Class 311000 for Seoul Subway

There are many types of trains in Seoul but they are usually similar to each other. Typically, train cars have four doors on each side. In between the doors are rows of either cushioned or non-cushioned seats for 7 people, except for the outer ends of each wagon where there are smaller rows of seats for 3 people, marked for the use by the elderly, disabled passengers, and pregnant women.

This list focuses primarily on trains that run on the 9 urban subway lines in Seoul, the wide-area commuter rail lines integrated into the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, and the AREX airport railroad. The list does not, however, include rolling stock used on the Incheon Subway and light metro systems such as the U Line or EverLine.

Features

Emergency procedures

Each train has at least one fire extinguisher and options for opening the door in an emergency. A SOS phone is placed in most cars operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation, and all new rolling stock.

Help for English Speakers

All trains in Seoul have both English and Korean announcements regarding each train stop. In addition, a map displays their names in both Korean and English characters. Many trains also have a LED display above a door or in the middle of the train car that displays information in Korean and English, though many side signs have been removed from trains due to their reduced visibility with the advent of platform screen doors. Some of the newest trains feature LCD screens above the doors or the middle of the train that display short commercials and station information.
