Beijing West Railway Station has the most passenger flow in the capital. The current Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway had only one drop-off station in Beijing. Due to the transmission capacity of Beijing West Railway Station, it was difficult for the railway authority to increase capacity on the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway. The opening of Beijing Fengtai Railway Station has greatly relieved the transportation pressure.

The new station now handles the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway, the Beijing-Hong Kong high-speed railway, the Beijing-Kowloon passenger railway, and serves as a super large transportation hub for transfer for the Fengtai-Shacheng, Beiing-Taiyuan, Beijing-Shanghai lines and suburban railways.
