The penultimate journey is a more retro one! 👌 Iksan 🇰🇷 to Asan 🇰🇷 on South Korea’s oldest InterCity train still in operation, the Saemaeul-ho 🚂, and only on the Janghang Line now! High comfort, spacious interiors and nice views - well worth avoiding the high speed line!

Next up, on the brand new KTX-CheongRyong 🚅 from Seoul 🇰🇷 to Dongdaegu 🇰🇷 and changing onto another KTX-I there to Gyeongju 🇰🇷. Similar to the KTX-EUM 🚅 in appearance, the KTX-CheongRyong has more capacity 💺and a faster top speed. ⏱️
