Getting There By Rail
Electrified train services run along the west coast and diesel trains along the east coast. Services are frequent, although often slow, and less expensive than flying. The main city station is Taipei railway station (tel: (02) 2311 0121 or 2312 3256; website: www.railway.gov.tw) where services run from 0600-0000. A high speed rail link running north-south from Taipei to Kaoshiung will be completed in 2006 (website: www.thsrc.com.tw). For getting information on the local railways, call the Taiwan Railway Administrations during office hours only (tel: (02) 23 111 024, option 42 for timetable information in English).
