At 9 o'clock on the 26th, the domestic "Harmony" EMU train with completely independent intellectual property rights departed from Wuhan and Guangzhou respectively in the state of "reconnection" of two carriages, and arrived at the destination according to the time set by the train control system. It runs at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to the take-off speed of Boeing aircraft.

With a total length of 1068.6 km, the passenger shinkansen of Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway is the longest one-time railway with the highest operating speed in the world. This is not only a milestone in the history of railway construction in China, but also a milestone in the history of railway construction in the world. Zeng Xiaolin, deputy chief engineer of Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, said that the interval between trains on this passenger Shinkansen has reached three minutes. In order to improve the utilization level in an all-round way, China has also pioneered the advanced operation mode of high-speed trains with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and trains with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour running across lines in the world.

Fully release transport capacity

Xu Keliang, chief engineer of Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway design, said that after the opening of Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, two-thirds of the passenger flow of Wuhan-Guangzhou railway trunk line will be diverted, completely ending the history of mixed passenger and cargo transportation in this area. The Wuhan-Guangzhou section of Beijing-Guangzhou railway and the Wuhan-Guangzhou section of Beijing-Kowloon railway will retain a certain number of passenger trains for a considerable period of time, but their freight capacity will be fully released. It is estimated that its annual freight capacity will reach 654.38+ 1 100 million tons.

For a long time, because the railway transportation is in the state of mixed passenger and freight transportation, two trains with very different speeds run on the same line, which greatly reduces the efficiency of railway operation, causes a huge waste of railway transportation capacity and seriously affects the development of logistics industry.

During the preliminary study of Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway construction, the trunk line of Wuhan-Guangzhou railway has an annual one-way passenger flow of 30 million passengers and a freight volume of 40 million tons. Xu Keliang said that after the completion of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, the annual passenger flow will reach 20 million passengers, which will comprehensively reduce the passenger pressure of the other two railways of the Wuhan-Guangzhou railway trunk line.

In 20 12 years, the mileage of high-speed rail will reach 13000 km.

At present, China has started more than 40 high-speed railway passenger dedicated lines and intercity railway projects, with a construction scale of over 6,543,800 kilometers. Wang Yongping, spokesman of the Ministry of Railways, said that in the next three years, there will be 247 key projects under construction, including the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway and other railways. By 20 12, the operating mileage of China railway will reach 1 10000 km, and the electrification rate and double-track rate will reach 50%. Among them, the mileage of "four vertical and four horizontal" high-speed railway backbone high-speed railway reached 654.38+0.3 million kilometers.

With the comprehensive promotion of high-speed railway construction in China, the intercity railway with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour and the high-speed railway with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour will quickly connect all provincial capitals and big cities with a population of more than 500,000, covering more than 90% of the country's population. China will take high-speed rail as a link to form a 1-8-hour traffic circle centered on Beijing.

Four "characteristic experiences"

The Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway passenger shinkansen officially opened for operation on the 26th. Some passengers said that compared with other means of transportation such as airplanes and automobiles, Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway has four "characteristic experiences".

First, it is safe and reliable. It is understood that the trains of Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway have high quality, good performance and high safety factor. Some citizens who bought tickets to take the high-speed train told reporters that they were still willing to choose the train instead of the plane. "After all, I feel safer on land."

The second is fast. Within the travel distance of 1000 km, the high-speed railway has obvious competitive advantages. Foreign trade operators who rely on planes to travel to and from Guangdong and Han all the year round said: "Taking the train eliminates the inconvenience of going to and from the airport and the complicated security check at both ends of the city. And catch up with the weather, deployment and other reasons, the plane will often be late, delaying a lot of time. So even if the high-speed rail fare is a little more expensive than the discounted ticket, I can accept it. " High-speed railway station is very convenient to get in and out of the station, get on and off the bus, and the procedures are simple. It runs for half an hour all day, so it is very convenient to come and go to buy tickets.

Third, the carrying capacity is large. The reporter learned from Wuhan Railway Bureau that the annual maximum traffic volume of a four-lane expressway does not exceed 80 million people, and the annual traffic volume of a two-lane high-speed railway can reach 65.438+600 million people. In particular, the high-speed railway runs between cities with high density, public transportation and flexible train formation, and the passenger capacity is incomparable to roads and civil aviation.

Fourth, the humanized facilities are more perfect, and the passenger activity space is large. Compared with airplanes and cars, Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway has more space to be equipped with humanized facilities. For example, there are seats, toilets and wheelchair storage areas specially designed for the disabled, as well as baby care tables and spacious seats that can rotate freely at 180 degrees. There are power supply, earphone holes and volume adjustment buttons under the train seat, which is convenient for passengers to surf the Internet, listen to music, enjoy the scenery outside the window and taste delicious food slowly.
