Dongsi Shitiao station

Template:Short description Template:Template other Dongsi Shitiao station (Template:Zh), is an interchange station on Line 2 and Line 3 of the Beijing Subway.

Name

Dongsi Subdistrict is an area in the northeastern side of the old town of Beijing. Hutongs are sorted numerically from south to north, and are called "tiao" in local parlance. Shitiao therefore refers to the tenth hutong in the Dongsi area, counted from south to north.

Use

The station is particularly busy during Beijing Guo'an matches, due to its proximity to the Workers' Stadium.

Station layout

The Line 2 station has an underground island platform, whilst the Line 3 station has an underground split island platform.

There is an unused platform below the existing Line 2 platform, built during the construction of the station, which was to have been used for the planned Line 3. The unused platform, originally meant for Line 3, will not be used for its original purpose, due to the newer rolling stock being too large for the original platform. Instead, it became the transfer concourse between the two lines. The connection between the two levels opened four decades after the station for Line 2 opened. For Line 3, two new platforms were built seven or eight metres below the original, one for each direction.

To allow construction of Line 3 platforms, the station of Line 2 has suspended for services between November 25, 2023 and February 27, 2024.

Exits

There are four exits, lettered A, B, C, and D. Exits B and C have accessible elevators.
