The development of inter-city railway in China will greatly facilitate people's travel between cities. Accessibility is a fundamental concept in transportation analysis and planning. Typically, the accessibility of an inter-city railway station means an ease level from an origin to the railway station that can be used to evaluate the service performance of an inter-city railway station. Therefore, the inter-city railway station must have relatively good accessibility in order to reflect the railway's advantage of travel time compared with other traffic modes in terms of four indexes: time, cost, level of comfort and reliability. In this paper, we calculated these four indexes by evaluating the costs of travel time, travel fare and discomfort. This paper mainly discusses the accessibility level depending on groups of people and distances based on each travel mode.
