THSR Miaoli Station

Miaoli (Chinese: 苗栗; pinyin: Miáolì) is a railway station in Miaoli County, Taiwan served by Taiwan High Speed Rail. Transfers to Fengfu railway station can be made at this station, which links to Miaoli railway station located in Miaoli City.

Overview

Due to funding problems, Miaoli Station was not constructed when Taiwan High Speed Rail first opened for service in 2007, and the detailed design began in 2010. Construction began on 28 January 2013, and the station opened on 1 December 2015. The station consists of one elevated main station and two side platforms. Availability of high speed rail reduced travel time between Miaoli County and Taipei City to 43-49 minutes.

To allow transfers to TRA, Fengfu railway station was moved approx. 400 meters north of its original location on 10 September 2016 to connect with the HSR station.
