The fastest EMU arrive in Guiyang this morning
for the final test of Shanghai-Kunming HSR
(Guiyang-Xinhuang section)
国内最快动车今晨抵达贵阳， 将参与沪昆高铁联调联试

本报讯 今晨5时许，两列CRH380A型动车组从山东抵达贵阳。据悉，该动车为国内时速最快的动车，即将参与沪昆高铁贵长段联调联试，也将成为贵长段正式用车。
At 5am today, two sets of CRH380A EMU arrived in Guiyang from Shandong. It is said that, these EMU trains, the fastest type in China so far, will participate in the final test of Shanghai-Kunming HSR’s Guizhou-Changsha section, and be the operating trains of this line.

根据中国铁路总公司的调度命令，3月18日12时10分，这两列刚从中国南车集团青岛四方机车车辆公司下线不久的380动车组联挂，组成一列编组16辆、长406米的重联动车组，从山东即墨站出发，于19日凌晨5时抵达贵阳北站，停站10分钟后，抵达贵阳北动车所。全程累行驶3000多公里，历经17个多小时。

According to Chinese Railway Corporation’s order, these two trains which have just been manufactured in CSR were connected as one 16-cars 406-metre-long train. It took 17 hours for more than 3,000 kilometres from Jimo Railway Station in Shandong to Guiyang North Railway Station.

据介绍，两列动车抵达贵阳北动车所后，工作人员将先给它们“洗澡”，然后开展二级检修，仔细检查车体下部两侧有无擦伤、刮伤，走行部、刹车片的情况如何等等；之后还将对车顶受电弓、车内驾驶室、发电机等部位开展体检，不久将上线运行。

沪昆高铁贵州公司相关人士透露，运营列车选择了目前国内动力最大、速度最快的CRH380A型动车组，其牵引功率为9600千瓦，为贵广高铁CRH2A型动车的一倍，可以拉动830多吨重的东西，这相当于550多辆家用小轿车、或14节载满货物的货物列车车厢，抑或40节载满旅客的普通旅客列车车厢的重量；其最高运行时速为380公里，正式运营过程中时速为300—340公里。

省铁建办相关人士介绍，目前，贵阳北—新晃西线路，预计3月下旬或4月上旬开启“联调联试模式”，而长沙—新晃西路段已开通运营。
Guiyang-Xinhuang section will undergo the final test before the official operation which is scheduled in June this year.

When are they gonna start building the bridge that connects Hainan Island to the Mainland？

I for one am certainly attracted to the idea of being able to take a high-speed train all the way from Shanghai/Beijing to Sanya！！

It is under serious discussion, I hope it is included in 13th 5-year plan.
But you can have the idea of taking HSR from Shanghai all the way to Kunming first!

Recent news is they will first use a ferry for HSR(now only ferry for slow trains).

CRH380 has a design speed of 380 km/h, any idea when BJ-SH Line (京沪高铁) will raise from their current speed of only 300 km/h?

No plan at least this year. Slowing down was a policy from today's PM's clan, a clan in pursuit of privatisation of key sectors and national capital，and in favour of foreign consortiums.

privatisation of what sector? I hope it does not happen

 

[AndrewJin]

Railway. Like Guangzhou-Shenzhen intercity line, a listed company, intercity train 50% pricier than other intercity HSR. It's PM's group that made those policies after 2011 and also their media spread hatred towards HSR along with supports from airlines. Because of them, a lot of HSR are constructed with lower technical standard under the name of "don't waste money", but it turned out the same.

lol, yes, all your mentioned been blocked for years. Use Yahoo, Line, Bing or Chinese tools.

Your post is quite insensitive. If I had known Chinese tools, I might not be asking for help here buddy.

Viber? An internet telephone APP?
I remember my Indian friend has managed downloading an APP called Viber with help from his colleagues.
U should first ask one of Chinese about the VPN.
I never use them so I can not help.
Youku.com has all free English soapies you may like.

Yes and it is really good. It offers low rates of call. Like 22 cents per minute to India.

I am opposed to privatization, like you said, of sensitive sectors. I guess railway transportation is one oft them. To inject some vitality, public-private consortium might be given "time-limited" rights to operate lines.

As for foreign control (even in the capacity of a consortium), I would be wholly against.

Privatisation of sensitive sectors is a total threat to national interests, we can't beg them to build strategic railway lines in the west and have a mercy on us passengers like keeping the ticket fares of HSR stable since 2008, or normal trains the same price since 1995!!! Railway is not airlines, it's either zero or total monopoly.
