subway between beijing west railwaybj central railway stations?

Question

Can expert in BJ subway people confirm the story below about the subway linkage between the West Railway and the Central Railway Stations via Line 2 to Fu-Xing-Men station and transfer to Line 1 to Military Museum station and then transfer to Line 9 to West Railway station?Workers are putting the final touches on an underground rail line linking two of BJ's biggest train stations. The 9.2-kilometer rail, most of which runs about 30 metres below ground, connects the Railway Station in Dongcheng district to the West Railway Station in Fengtai district, and is expected to be completed this month (July 2013). The railway will take much of the overground traffic pressure off as the commute time will be reduced to around 15 minutes. Previously, transfer passengers would have to spend nearly one hour to commute by bus and subway between the two railway stations. The project has been almost eight years in construction because of the complicated geography and engineering, according to a project manager from the China Railway Tunnel Group.

Currently, passengers still cannot take the subway line 9 from the Military Museum to West Railway Station. Travelers need to use the subway line 1 to reach Military Museum Station and then get out of the subway station. From this station, they can find shuttle buses to reach the west railway stations directly.

Miller:  How far back is your experience about using shuttle buses at the Military Museum Station to the West Railway Station?  Where is the location of the shuttle buses to the West railway station?  How frequent? Are they well-marked on the bus front to the West? Thanks for your reply.

Miller · Answer

I took the bus in October last year. The buses are at the Exit A of the Military Museum Station. The buses' interval is around 5 to 10 minutes. The buses are well marked, so please do not worry about it.

Hi Miller:Does the bus from the Military Museum station Exit A take you directly in front of the West Railway station?  How far walk from the bus dropoff location in West Railway station to the train plateform as I believe the West railway station is a pretty big station.

Miller · Answer

No, the bus stops at the public bus station on the Railway Station East Square. From this station to the west railway station, you only need to walk several minutes. You can see the railway station after you get off the bus.
