==History==
The station opened in 1911 as a freight and Level 3 passenger station ({{lang|zh|[[:zh:三等站 (中国大陆)|三等站]]}}) on the [[Kowloon–Canton Railway]]. Initial renovation works commenced in 2004. The station building was demolished in April 2008, and work began on the construction of a new passenger hub that was completed by the end of October 2012. 

In September 2012, it was announced that the new station would be named "Shenzhen East Station".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sznews.com/news/content/2012-09/15/content_7202402.htm |script-title=zh:布吉火车站更名深圳东站 预计10月底通车 |trans-title=Buji Railway Station Renamed Shenzhen East Station; Expected to Open to Traffic by the End of October |publisher=Shenzhen News |date=15 September 2012 |access-date=5 October 2012 |language=zh-hans}}</ref> The Shenzhen East name was originally assigned to a proposed [[Longgang Station (Shenzhen)|Longgang Station]] on the [[Xiamen–Shenzhen Railway]], currently named [[Shenzhen Pingshan railway station|Shenzhen Pingshan Station]].

==Structure==

The renovated station began operating 21 December 2012.<ref name="Govt" /> The 127,000-square-meter hub houses the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Railway,<ref name="Govt">{{cite web|url=https://www.szlhq.gov.cn/english/life/transportation/content/mpost_8652313.html|title=Transport in Shenzhen|publisher=Longhua Government Online|date=2023-12-02|access-date=2024-04-03}}</ref> serving 3 separate railway lines (2 high-speed lines and 1 conventional rail line). The completed station building features 3 ticket halls and a waiting hall of 7,100m². There are 6 north-south platforms serving 11 tracks on the main platform level. Separate east-west platforms will serve trains on the Xiamen-Shenzhen High-Speed Railway (u/c).{{citation needed|date=April 2024|reason= Official train timetable currently shows trains from Xiamen-Shenzhen Railway (normally) do not serves Shenzhen Buji district.

==Train services==
[[File:C8004 passing through Shenzhen East railway station.mpg|thumb|C8004, a [[Guangzhou–Shenzhen Railway]] intercity train, is passing through Shenzhen East railway station without stopping.]]
The new Shenzhen East will handle middle- and long-distance, lower-speed trains, including trains to [[Sichuan Province|Sichuan]], [[Hunan Province|Hunan]], [[Hubei Province|Hubei]], [[Jiangxi Province|Jiangxi]] and [[Anhui Province|Anhui]] provinces. [[Shenzhen railway station]] will be the main hub for intercity trains in [[Guangdong Province]], for example, and its current long-distance trains to [[Beijing]], [[Shanghai]], [[Chengdu]], [[Guilin]] and [[Fuzhou]] will be relocated to Shenzhen East in the future.{{citation needed|reason=this whole paragraph need reference source to support|date=April 2024}}

This station was initially designed for stopping by [[Guangzhou–Shenzhen Railway]] intercity trains but the plan was abandoned after construction was nearly completed, {{citation needed|date=April 2024}} and [[Pinghu railway station|Pinghu]] has become the additional station for intercity trains afterwards. 

Shenzhen East station is now mainly used for non-high-speed services, while starting 10 January 2024, a pair of regularly operating "D-suffix" train, namely D146/7、D148/5, heading to Zhengzhou station is added where CR200J1-C trains<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://view.inews.qq.com/k/20240113A0840P00?no-redirect=1&web_channel=wap&openApp=false |title=深圳东部又要飞了！113年的深圳东站正式进入“动车时代”！|date=2024-01-13|access-date=2024-04-03|language=zh}}</ref> are in use as at January 2024.
