Xiamen-Shenzhen high-speed rail and Nan-Guang high-speed rail will launch ticket counting
From April 10th, the maximum speed of the Xiamen-Shenzhen high-speed rail will be increased from the current 200 kilometers to 250 kilometers per hour, which is also the highest design speed of the Xiamen-Shenzhen high-speed rail.
The Xiamen-Shenzhen high-speed railway opened in 2013, connecting important coastal cities such as Xiamen, Chaozhou, Shantou, and Shenzhen, with a total length of 514 kilometers.
At present, the shortest EMU train time between Xiamen and Shenzhen is 3 hours and 19 minutes. After the speed is reached, the fastest travel time between the two places will be shortened to 2.5 hours.
China Railway Group stated that it will add 7 pairs of Shenzhen-Xiamen express trains, and arrange 3 pairs of high-quality cross-line intercity trains from Chaoshan area to Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
In addition, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail and the Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed rail have taken the lead in launching time-counting tickets and regular tickets.
