Q. What's the rail route to Gangdong?
Take the all-stop AREX to Gongdeok Station and transfer once to Line 5, which runs straight into Gangdong — a single transfer, but budget about 97 minutes for the full ride.
Q. Bus or train for Gangdong?
It's honestly a long haul either way. Buses 6200 and 6300 win on simplicity with luggage; the rail route wins at road-rush hours. If your Seoul plans center on the west or center, consider whether a base this far east suits your itinerary.
