History

It was reported in February 2012 as one of six new lines under planning by the city's public transit planning authorities.^[15] As of 2015, the line was renamed to Line 19^[16] with the first phase starting construction in 2016.^[5] The line opened on 31 December 2021.^[10] Four infill stations opened on 30 July 2022.^[11]

Future development

Phase 2 of Line 19, which is under planning, consists of a northern extension to Changping District. Additionally, there will be a branch line of the northern extension, which will serve the new Qinghe railway station, a station on the Beijing–Zhangjiakou intercity railway.^[17] On 11 January 2022, the second phase of Line 19 was listed as one of the 10 construction projects in the "Beijing Rail Transit Phase III Construction Plan (2022-2027)".^[18]

On 8 July 2022, an EIA document regarding Phase III construction of Beijing rail transport system (2022–2027) expanded the phase 2 planning. The northern extension will start from Mudanyuan and run to Life Valley as a 17.6 km (10.9 mi) long section with 6 new stations. A branch of the northern extension will run from Shangqingqiao South to Qinghe railway station for 6.8 km (4.2 mi) with one new station. Additionally, a southern extension was announced from Xingong to Haizijiao as a 12.6 km (7.8 mi) long section with 6 new stations along with a branch of the southern extension from Xinmeiti Chanye Jidi to Shengwu Yiyao Jidi West which will be 17.4 km (10.8 mi) long with 7 new stations.^[19]

On 28 April 2024, Beijing Infrastructure Investment announced the northern extension and its branch, as well as southern extension.^[20] On 29 July, BII published the first EIA analysis to confirm these 3 parts.^[21]
