During Pyeongchang 2018, the Korea Train eXpress (KTX) will take up to 20,910 passengers each day from Incheon International Airport to Jinbu and Gangneung Stations, it is claimed.

Jinbu will be the main station for the Alpensia Olympic Park.

Korea Railroad (Korail) plan to operate 51 trains daily.

The journey time for spectators coming from South Korea's capital Seoul will be 67 minutes.

It will take one hour 50 minutes from Incheon International Airport but will only operate between February 1 and 28 for the Olympic Games, due to take place between February 9 and 25.

Passengers from Incheon International Airport during the Paralympic Games, scheduled to be held between March 8 and 18, will have to change at Seoul.

Tickets for local and international visitors can be purchased online from Korail by clicking here.

A one-way trip from Incheon International Airport Station to Jinbu Station starts from ₩35,000 (£24/$33/€27)

International visitors also have the option of purchasing the "PyeongChang Korail Pass" which can be used for travel throughout South Korea from February 1 to March 25.

Last week, South Korea's Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Cho Hyun called on North Korea to participate at Pyeongchang 2018, which he says should be a Games "for peace".

It comes as tension continues to rise between North Korea - located just 50 miles north of Pyeongchang - and the United States.

"The Olympics is a big event and if an international problem happens it will worry many people," Seoul resident Ahn Ju-young was reported as saying by AFP before boarding the train today.

"As a South Korean, I really hope there aren't any problems."
