The end of my 20-day trip in Southwest China.:-)
More details will be shared in Chinas answer to future challenges | Page 2


My observation about this bullet train trip
1, Number of bus lines to downtown is limited, especially direct bus to old stations and airport; metro construction too slow, not in time with the opening of this HSR station.
2, No shops inside still since it has been just opened, but hot water is provided
3, Organisation should be improved. 20 minutes prior to departure, radio already announced check-in, but passengers waited for another 5 minutes in queue. And stuff only called for children to check-in first, forgot about other priority passengers.
4, Signs inside are excellent, but outside station not detailed.
5, Stuff in information centres were friendly but their mandarin :(
6, When passengers boarded the train, one attendant was not waiting at the door.

For a new railway station, I give them 7/10,
Next time when Guiyang-Kunming HSR, I'll come back.:-)

A visit to Shanghai Hongqiao CRH EMU Depot

The depot lies about 6km north of Shanghai Hongqiao station, occupies an area of over 67 hectares. It has 75 road sidings, can hold 136 8-car EMUs.

The map and sign at the entrance of the depot, 1: road sidings, 2: maintenance sheds, 3: offices, 4: living area

Full view(almost) of the maintenance sheds, two 4 road sheds and one 6 road shed(left)

Inside the 6 road maintenance shed, each road can hold two 8-car EMUs or one 16-car EMU

70 8-car EMUs get through the process each day, it takes a 4 man team about 2.5 hours to do one 8 car EMU

What's the shed at the very left? The auther didn't mention, my(the OP)guess is it's the wheel lathing shed

Finally, a bit of information of different levels of maintenance of all the CRH train models

It can be seen the models inherited European technology require less maintenance than the models inherited Japanese technology.

It's one of the reasons both two prototype Chinese Standard high speed trains adopted European standard in term of traction system, bogie and running gear.
