New types of high-speed trains on debut in China

Xinhua Published: 2018-11-19


China's train maker CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co. Ltd. debuted two types of train at an international rail transit expo closed in central China's Hunan Province on Saturday.

One of the two train models, shown at the Rail+Metro China 2018, is a double decker with eight compartments, developed to meet demand for large passenger numbers for inter-city railways, the company said.

The train with 820 seats has a maximum capacity of 1,708 passengers, which is 40 percent more than the capacity of existing trains. The train units are equipped with advanced audio-visual entertainment facilities. With comfortable interior space, the train has independent toilets for disabled persons.

Yang Ying, deputy chief engineer with the company, said that the double-decker can run at a speed of 160 km/h, which can be made faster through system upgrading.

The other model has a permanent magnet synchronous motor, the first time for China-developed high-speed trains to use such technology. The electric motor is lighter and more power-efficient than existing ones.

The drilling of Qinghuayuan tunnel was completed on Tuesday in Beijing, an important progress for the Beijing-Zhangjiakou intercity high-speed railway construction to move ahead smoothly.

The tunnel, which began to be built in Nov, is located in Haidian district, extending underground from the Beijing North Railway Station for 6,020 meters before going aboveground to the north. Its diameter reaches 12.64 meters.

The Qinghuayuan tunnel went through three subway lines, seven crucial city roads and 88 municipal pipelines. It is a shield tunnel at the city center, passing through some of the most complex underground layers and most important buildings.

Shield tunneling can minimize the destruction of current fundamental construction features such as roads, pipelines, pedestrian overpasses and bus stations, and also reduce noise pollution and the interference to people and residential communities.

On Nov 11, the drilling of nearly 13-kilometer-long tunnel on high-speed railway network for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Zhangjiakou, North China's Hebei province, was completed. The construction of the tunnel, the longest on Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway route, began in September 2016 and was named Zhengpantai tunnel.

The Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway has a total length of 174 kilometers with 10 stops, which is the first ballast track with maximum speed of 350 km/h, able to pass through Alpine regions and sandstorm areas, according to the Beijing Railway Administration.

The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2019 and will shorten the trip between the two cities from the current three hours to just one hour.

It is a vital transportation construction for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games co-hosted by Beijing and Zhangjiakou.
 
This is awesome!
Train T77 is still alive!!!

Just come across with these videos shot in 2012.
And check the latest timetable, T77 is still operating!
The only difference might be the terminal station in Guilin changed to Guilin North.
The recent change was back in 2017 stop at Hengyang Station changed from 0:27-0:45 to 0:28-0:45 :)

Such a great alternative for planes or bullet trains

China to build the country’s first undersea tunnel for high-speed train
Source:Global Times Published: 2018/11/20 19:19:27

China's first undersea tunnel for a high-speed railway is to be constructed in a section of the high-speed railway project from Ningbo to Zhoushan, East China's Zhejiang Province.

According to the local railway administration, an accreditation conference for the feasibility of the project has been wrapped up in Beijing, and the plan deliberated in the conference includes an undersea tunnel, which would be China's first undersea tunnel for a high-speed railway.

The 77-kilometer high-speed railway will be the first railway from Ningbo to Zhoushan, with a design speed of 250 km/h, in which a 16 kilometer undersea tunnel is designed to connect Beilun of Ningbo and Jintang of Zhoushan.

In the project, 71 kilometers of new railway line will be built. Seven stations are designed along the route, and four of them will be newly built. Three will be reconstructed.

The conference confirms tourist traffic as the major function of the project, and intercity passenger transportation will be its secondary function.

Middle and long distance bullet trains for intercity passenger transportation among Zhoushan, Ningbo and Hangzhou will be launched after the completion of the railway.

The high-speed train will shorten the transportation time between Ningbo and Zhoushan to 30 minutes, a decrease of 75 minutes from the current transportation time.

The high-speed railway will integrate both highways and railway lines, which means an expressway from Ningbo to Zhoushan will be constructed in parallel with the high-speed railway, according to the transportation administration.

Chengdu-Kunming Railway
Southwest China's mountainous magic

The new 160-200km/h Chengdu-Kunming Railway will open in 2019.
The old one will be only used for freight trains and short-distance passenger trains.
The magnificent scenery will be history for passengers on most long-distance trains.

Those trains have ACs? What is different between soft and hard beds?
No A/C, it is called non-A/C green trains.
A non-A/C train can have soft beds too, but still no A/C.
A train is either entirely air-conditioned or no-A/C in any car.

Soft beds are 2-berth, hard bed is 3-berth.
Both provides bedding, but soft bed is more spacious and more fluffy.

Some train may have deluxe soft bed, that is 2-berth private room with sofa and toilet inside.

Bullet trains only provide soft bed.

All bedding classes are cheaper than at least first class of bullet trains, in many classes cheaper than second-class.
