This reporter (Reporter Sun Hongyang) The reporter learned from the National Railway Group that yesterday, the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway construction safety standard demonstration line achieved significant results, and the Beijing-Wuhan section pull-through test was a complete success.
From June 20th, Beijing and Wuhan will take the lead in normalizing operation at a high speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and the shortest operating time will be reduced to 3 hours and 48 minutes.
At that time, the high-quality benchmark trains and intelligent Fuxing EMUs will be added simultaneously, and new services such as silent carriages and a new ticket system will be introduced, and a market-oriented fare mechanism with flexible discounts, rising and falling, and high-quality and preferential prices will be implemented. The travel experience is further improved.
Ye Yangsheng, chief engineer of China National Railway Group, said that implementing the construction of safety standard demonstration lines and promoting the normalization of high-speed rail operation at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour is a complex system project, which requires comprehensive consideration of technical conditions, market demand, operating costs, and environmental remediation. a factor.
The Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway is constructed at a speed of 300 to 350 kilometers per hour. At present, the normal operation is at a speed of 310 kilometers per hour. Since the completion of the whole line on December 26, 2012, it has accumulated systematic and comprehensive experience in safe operation and management, and has transported 1.6 billion passengers.
On the basis of comprehensive inspection, inspection and evaluation of Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway infrastructure, China National Railway Group has fully learned from the successful experience of Beijing-Shanghai, Chengdu-Chongqing and other high-speed railways in the construction of safety standard demonstration lines in recent years. The Jingwu section of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway is the first to reach the standard of the demonstration line, creating conditions for the normalized operation between Beijing and Wuhan at a high standard speed of 350 kilometers per hour.
At the same time, the Wuhan-Guangzhou section, which has been in operation for a long time, has a high proportion of tunnels, is greatly affected by the external environment, and has many line diseases, will be comprehensively rectified to lay the foundation for reaching the standard of the demonstration line as soon as possible.
The China National Railway Group has centrally organized the upgrading, transformation and reinforcement projects of lines, bridges, tunnels, traction power supply, communication signals and other equipment and facilities, as well as video surveillance, disaster monitoring and other systems for the Jingwu section of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway. Anti-"Trinity" high-speed rail security system.
At present, various projects have been completed as planned with high quality.
Organizing this pull-through test is a key link to comprehensively inspect the quality of the project. The test adopts the Fuxing EMU with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a high-speed comprehensive inspection vehicle. They conducted a comprehensive test, and scientifically verified the high-speed rail systems and overall performance in accordance with the requirements of high-standard operation at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.
The test results show that all indicators are in compliance with relevant regulations. After the next step of safety assessment and project acceptance, it is expected that on June 20, the Jingwu section of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway will take the lead in realizing normalized operation at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.
After the Jingwu section of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway achieves normalized operation at a high speed of 350 kilometers per hour, the fastest travel time from Beijing west to Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou east, and Wuhan will be reduced to 1 hour 1 minute, 2 hours 11 minutes, and 3 hours 48 minutes respectively.
At the same time, the fastest travel times for cross-line trains running from Beijing West to Changsha South, Guangzhou South, Xi'an North, Nanchang West, Chengdu East, and Guiyang North will also be reduced to 5 hours and 16 minutes, 7 hours and 38 minutes, and 4 hours and 11 minutes, respectively. , 6 hours 08 minutes, 7 hours 31 minutes, 8 hours 20 minutes.
Starting from June 20, the Jingwu section of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway will increase the number of high-quality benchmark trains and intelligent Fuxing EMUs that run directly to major stations.
Build a multi-grade, rising and falling executive fare system, with a minimum discount of 6.58% and a fare of 410 yuan, so that passengers will have more choices for travel.
The Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway is one of the main vertical channels of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network, with a total length of 2,298 kilometers, running through 6 provinces and cities including Beijing, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong.
The Jingwu section of the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway runs through the core area of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development, the urban agglomeration in the Central Plains, and the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and its status as a trunk line is very important.
This section is the first to achieve normalized operation at a high speed of 350 kilometers per hour, which will further reduce the time and space distance between regions and better meet the needs of the general public for good travel.
