From the year of humiliation to humbleness and to a sense of great advancement and pride, we have been working hard for each kilometer earned and from there can we take it to the level of greatness?
Safe, clean, comfortable, hospitable and punctual we hope the concept of our HSR experience can be applied to other areas when we are still in the process of development
Since the day of Wenzhou accident and receiving of massive attacks and ridicules around the globe,
"23 July 2011 –
China –
Wenzhou train collision" please check this list out from the date of our train tragedy
to present.
RIP and solace to all the aggrieved!

We did learn a lot from the history. But real attacks towards CRH were from domestic side, like what I wrote, lobby from airlines, general hatred towards any achievements on railway. I was attacked online just because of saying something like Chinese should enlarge HSR investment. The real lesson is , learn from this lesson, but get improved.
Up to now, it goes well, people gradually change their original image towards Chinese railway,
dirty, unpunctual, like a journey of refugee. That's why I was so gratified to see so many people now reckon CRH as their
first choice, like Shanghai-Beijing, Xiamen-Shenzhen, or intercity services like Shanghai-Nanjing/Hangzhou, Wuhan-Yichang and so on. More than 16000km by the end of 2014, but far from enough, long way to go. And also something about CRH should be improved, like what
@Gufi said, limited English .And from my perspective, the speed in key lines should be returned to 250/350kph. Limiting speed is not about safety.(Wenzhou train collision happened at a speed
less than 100kph). Like in an expressway, driving slowly is even more dangerous
. Anyway, the hardest time is gone, but
never be content of what it has achieved.

@AndrewJin :
mine is ...rather boring actually.
the CRH between Guangzhou and Shenzhen, from 0630 to 2330, approximately 10 to 12 mins a shift, 1 h 12 mins covering the whole distance, several stops in the middle. ticket price 79.5 RMB (used to be 80, don't know why they changed).
it's practically a bus, or better than bus with no traffic.
i usually book and pay online by cell, sometimes go directly to the station then use the automatic ticket machines.
nothing to complain except for too crowded and they automatically changed my seat ticket to no seat a few times.
Thanks Bro. The ticket fare is basically the same nation-widely. But for
Shenzhen-Guangzhou, the most blood-sucking Guangzhou Railway adds extra money(I beg u don't know that). The same distance in other railway bureau
only requires around 65 RMB for G-series and 40 RMB for D-series, like Shanghai-Wuxi. Reason? Cause you guys are rich in Pearl River Delta. Just joking, it's about GUANGSHEN Railway Co.,Ltd.......a Co.Ltd
in the stock market!!!! But since people there get used to it and this line becomes part of their life, so? Shareholders are happy!
