Tai Hing Station is a minor railway station in Tai Hing, Lamtsu Capital City, Hon Kwong Province, Federation of Sorano.

History

Tai Hing Station was constructed as an intermediate stop on the Seiyo Shinkansen on the way to Lamtsu. This prompted an extension of the Hakone Line down to the newly built stations, as the existing trains could not handle the curvature of the line leading to the underground section of the line.

The station is one of the least used in the HRT (Lamtsu) network, despite the Shinkansen connection. This is because commuters in the region generally preferred to use the existing Mihara Line to get to Misato and Lamtsu, and the fact that the Seiyo Shinkansen does not extend past Lamtsu. Lamtsu is also infamous for being very user-unfriendly.

The original station flooded on 1st January 2023, when a massive leak flooded all the tunnels of the Seiyo Shinkansen from Tai Hing to Shin-Haebaru. The station was then hastily rebuilt at a much deeper level. The Shinkansen reopened for service in July 2023.
