Dongsi Shitiao station[1] (simplified Chinese: 东四十条站; traditional Chinese: 東四十條站; pinyin: Dōngsì Shítiáo zhàn), is a station on Line 2 of the Beijing Subway.
Name
[edit]
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
[edit]The station is particularly busy during Beijing Guo'an matches, due to its proximity to the Workers' Stadium.
Station layout
[edit]The Line 2 station has an underground island platform, whilst the future Line 3 will also have an underground 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 connection between the two levels is currently fenced off, but will open in 2024 when Line 3 becomes operational, four decades after the station for Line 2 opened. 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 will become the transfer hall between the two lines and will be renovated. For Line 3, two new platforms will be built seven or eight metres below the original, one for each direction.[2]
To allow construction of Line 3 platforms, the station of Line 2 has suspended for services since 25 November 2023, and until 27 February 2024.[3]
Exits
[edit]There are four exits, lettered A, B, C, and D. Exits B and C are accessible.
