Further North Extension

Part of Phase 3 adjustment plan of Guangzhou Metro, now under review by the National Development and Reform Commission as of September 2022. This extension will bring Line further North beyond Jiaoxin Station. The extension will have provisions to be divided into two lines at Jiangfu Station. With the northern section of Line 8 between Jiangfu Station and Guangzhou North Railway Station will be spun off to form the new Line 24. However, according to the latest environmental impact assessment announcement, Line 24 is used as an extension of Line 8 to announce the line design information. The part to the north of Jiangfu Station is taken as part of the further north extension of Line 8, and the part to the south of Jiangfu Station is taken as the "Subline of the North Extension of Line 8". Even so, the line specifications of these two parts are still configured according to the separate Line 24, because it avoids the need to increase the number of new service lines when it is submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission for approval.
