Future plans for the Quy Nhon branch line

The future North-South high-speed railway will have a stop at Dieu Tri, further inland from the current Dieu Tri Station.

It is not known if the current branch line from Dieu Tri to Quy Nhon will be utilised in some way after the high-speed railway opens. The current branch line travels through some narrow streets in Quy Nhon City, and there is a level crossing in the city centre.
