Recently, the special planning of Shanghai Pudong comprehensive transportation hub has been officially approved by the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. According to the reply, Shanghai East Railway Station will be built to fully undertake the important node function of national coastal channel and strengthen its leading and radiating role to the Yangtze River Delta. Shanghai East Railway Station is planned to have 14 sets of 30 lines, second only to Shanghai Hongqiao Station (16 sets and 30 lines), and it will be the second largest railway passenger station in Shanghai. It is planned to be connected to Su-Hu-Tong Railway, north-south riverside railway, Shanghai Zhahang Railway, Hu-Su-Hu Railway and Shanghai Hangzhou intercity, connecting Shanghai-Nanjing and Shanghai-Hangzhou channels, and reserving access conditions for Shanghai-Zhoushan-Ningbo railway channel.

In this way, the first phase of Hu-Su-Tong Railway can directly connect Shanghai Hongqiao Station and Shanghai Railway Station.
