Beijing Subway Line 22 Opens From Hongmiao to Pinggu
- "The line will ... open between Hongmiao and Pinggu in late 2026, with Jintai Xizhao and Dongdaqiao stations opening in 2029"; the infobox gives a planned opening of 2026[1]
- On 25 August 2026 the section from Hongmiao to Pinggu entered trial operation without passengers[1]
- Line 22 (北京地铁22号线), also called M22 and by its construction name the Pinggu line, is a rapid transit line under construction in Beijing and Hebei Province, running from Dongdaqiao station in Chaoyang District to Pinggu station in Pinggu District[1]
- It has 22 stations - 19 underground and 3 elevated (Qixinzhuang, Mafang Wuliugang and Nongyezhongguancun) - across Chaoyang, Tongzhou and Pinggu districts of Beijing and Sanhe in Langfang, Hebei Province[1]
- Length 81.82 km (50.84 mi), of which 53.8 km (33.4 mi) underground; 8-car Type D rolling stock, 1,435 mm standard gauge, dual voltage 25 kV 50 Hz AC and 1,500 V DC overhead wire[1]
- Maximum operating speed 160 km/h (99 mph), reduced to 120 km/h (75 mph) on the underground section[1]
- The route was changed from its original plan: it was to run from Dongfeng Beiqiao to Juhewan, but in 2019 it was announced it would still start in the urban centre of Pinggu and, on reaching Yanjiao, head south through Tongzhou District and run under Chaoyang Road between Line 6 and the Batong Line towards the Beijing central business district, "to serve more populated areas of the city and enhance integration between Beijing's city center and its new sub-center in Tongzhou District"; the Dongfeng Beiqiao terminus is now reserved as long-term planning[1]
- The article describes the line as crossing from Beijing into Hebei but does not itself call it the first inter-provincial metro line, as the pin does[1]

English Wikipedia says the line "will open between Hongmiao and Pinggu in late 2026", and the August 2026 report it cites says the line 年底基本具备开通条件 ("will basically meet the conditions for opening by the end of the year"), so the day stands for late 2026.
