Does anyone know the quickest way to ge to Byeongjeom or Osan (both line 1) from Seoul? Preferably Seoul Station or Yongsan.
Thanks in advance

Regular train from Seoul Station to Osan. Mugunghwa or Nooriro. (train types).

Takes about 45mins from Seoul Station to Osan station, and they run about every hour.

Check www.Korail.com for more info.

There is an express bus from near Gangnam station, it takes around an hour depending on traffic.

If you want to go to Byeongjeom, then take the trains to Suwon. EVERY train that heads down the line stops at Suwon, very few stop at Osan. That's the Nooriro, Mughungwha, and Saemaeul. Don't bother with the KTX that goes to Suwon - they are more expensive and no faster than the others. Also, Byeongjeom is the end of the subway line for half the trains coming down the line, and half the trains going up the line, so if you're going to BJ, go to Suwon and take the subway down, or catch the bus in front of Suwon Station. If you're going to Osan, it could still be faster to go to Suwon, get off and take the subway.

There are also express subway trains from Seoul (only in the early morning and evening) and Yongsan (every 60-90 minutes) that make few stops. They do stop at both Byeongjeom and Osan though.
