The phase 2 section is intended to compete with KCR Joestu Line City Section, running from Fuka to Fustersa.

In April 2004, 10 sets of 4 car trains are ordered by Rigel Corp and will be constructed by CAF.

2005

In February 2005, the tunnel and station constructions for Phase 1 has begin which consisted of 3 stations with a total of 1534m long.

During May 2005, 10 sets of trains are delivered to Rigel Corp.

By August 2005, all tunnel and station constructions has completed, and began the installation of electricity, air conditioning and signaling system.

2006

In January to April 2006, various tests has been performed to ensure stability and reliability.

In May 3rd 2006, the Phase 1 section of Rigel Line is opened for public.

2009 Airport Railway Proposal

WIP

2011 Train underframe cracking

In April 2011, 2 CAF Train experienced a loss of traction power after departing from Auriga Station and Odysseus Station respectively.

Following the examination of the train, cracks were discovered on parts of the underframe component on 5 other trains.

In June 2011, 12 sets of 5-car K-Train manufactured by Rotem is ordered and delivered by 2013.

The affected CAF Train is taken out of service and retired shortly after.

As of 2022, there are 5 CAF Trains remaining on the line and 21 sets of K-Train. The remaining CAF Trains will be slowly taken out of service and eventually replaced by K-Trains and the new S-Trains.

2013 6-Cars expansion

6 Cars Platform were reserved on all stations since the opening of the Rigel Line.

As passenger demands rise, the first 6-Cars trains is put on services in August 2013.

Since then, trains are slowly transformed from 5-Cars to 6-Cars configuration, until all trains are transformed to 6-Cars in 2016.

2022 RDS expansion

The Airport Railway section of RDS 2022

In Railway Development Strategy report 2022, under the new airport terminal plan, route alignment on the Rigel Line will be adjusted, which means Rigel Line will get another expansion (i.e. Phase 3) after 14 years. Under the new proposal, Rigel Line will stop at Central South and Racecourse, and terminating at the Airport (Terminal 1).

Starting from March 2022, Rigel Line is fully suspended due to replacing current signaling system and performing various works on current stations. As of July 2022, there are no any new information provided by Rigel Corp for the progress.
