▶ Beijing North, Qinghuayuan, Qinghe, Changping rail stations in Beijing closed as of 01 November 2016. Services diverted to Huangtudian or Changping North stations. [18:05 on 26 Oct 2016]

Some stations in China use part or all of their names in Hanyu Pinyin, the national romanisation system, whereas in other stations, English is used. For trains to Beijing West, you might see Beijingxi, the Pinyin name, used on tickets, whereas the full English name is used on Subway signs. This can be truly confusing, so Tracking China will provide both names for a smoother journey.
