Originally scheduled for operation in 2013, the opening of the 1776km HSR connecting Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, and Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's capital city, has now been delayed into 2014 in the aftermath of the "7.23" rail accident:

The MOR is about to open biddings for new EMUs in 2013,with orders for 240 300km/h trainsets and 260 250km/h trainsets。
 
Better to operate later rather than meeting the previous set deadline. Let the accident remind the officials not to make the same mistake again and that quality and safety are the most important parts constructing the world's biggest rail network. It's just amazing seeing mid and western China is connected through modern transportation.
 
A great easy target for terrorist attacks.

I know the will of Chinese government to improve living standard in Xinjiang, but.......somehow isolating this area in the name of safety is the best choice of all.

These two provinces are not that populated. Only about 50 millions people there. Beijing to Guangzhou almost connect most populated provinces in China.
