History

[edit]

The original station was first opened in 1893 as Tochongxi (頭重溪) station. It was moved to a new location on 20 July 1899 and renamed Yangmeili (楊梅壢停車場) and eventually to its current name in 1920. A new concrete station building was built in 1929.[1] Taiwan Easy Go contactless smart card faregates were installed at this station on 26 March 2010. New elevated platforms as well as the third-generation station building were opened in 2010 and 2011 respectively.

Structure

[edit]

There are two island platforms. Another entrance and an overpass connecting the two entrances of the station are currently being built.

Service

[edit]

As a minor station, Yangmei Station is primarily serviced by Local Trains. The Tzu-Chiang Limited Express does not stop at this station.
