What is the timeline for completion?

Started construction in 2013, will be open in December 2015 or early 2016. At least one square (any HSR station has 2 squares, for example north entrance and south entrance) will be used during spring festival travel rush of 2016.

Cranes are everywhere to be seen in China.
Construction sites are what make local transportation in Wuhan suck.
I think temporary troubles can be overcome for the future convenience.

View from my balcony, Wuhan, Central China.
The short buildings u see will be demolished within 2 years including the one where I live.

Changsha, a provincial capital city 1.5 hour(360km) by HSR from my city
Photos taken in this October

Yueyang, a 3rd-tier city
Half an hour by HSR(150km) from Changsha

Super impressive demonstration of China's inland development.

Somehow our HSR station in Wuhan is sort of outdated, now not even top15 size-wise.
I don't think it can handle more new lines after 10 years.
We are planning a new one, in the new urban area which will become the location of a Sino-French corporation project, a huge ecological city for the future.

Guangzhou, Wuhan and Changsha in the list that means the Wu Guang line operates good. This line is which I choosed to take train most.

Wuhan is not just about Wuhan-Guangzhou HSR.
Actually more passengers use Wuhan-Yichang HSR.
That's why Hankou Railway Station (Shanghai-Wuhan-Yichang-Chengdu HSR) is busier than Wuhan Railway Station(Beijing-Wuhan-Guangzhou). But Changsha is as you said, economically close to Guangzhou. Just compare the number, 70 bullet trains from Wuhan to Guangzhou daily, 110 from Changsha to Guangzhou!!!

Yes, got it. Changsha is also a cross node of Wuguang and Hukun line.

HSR change the city fast, if you add the maglev line that connect Changsha south station to Huanghua airport, the train transportation system is now gradually growing mature.

Zhuzhou near Changsha is a city on train that has a base of orignal CSR.

HSR now satisfied people most, I'd like to see more development in public transportation support system such as park ing place, road etc.
