China News Service, Guangzhou, August 18 (Reporter Guo Jun) On August 18, the Guang (Zhou) Shi (Tan) Line, an important part of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Railway Hub, was officially opened for operation. The opening and operation of this "golden line" connecting Beijing-Guangzhou and Guangzhou-Shenzhen railways will greatly release the railway passenger and freight transportation capacity of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, marking the construction of the Guangzhou Railway Hub, a world-class railway hub in the Greater Bay Area, has entered a new stage.

According to reports, the Guangshi line was constructed by the China Railway Fifth Bureau and other units. The line has a total length of 68.889km and a design speed of 120km/h. It starts from the north end of Jiangcun Station and connects to the Beijing-Guangzhou Line and ends at Shitan Station to the Guangshen Line. There are 5 stations in Jiangcun, Changgang, Chaoliang, Zengcheng West and Shitan on the whole line. After the opening of this line, it will greatly meet the passenger and freight transportation needs of Guangzhou-Shenzhen Railway connecting Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Guangmao Railway, Nanguang Railway, Guangzhou-Zhuhai Railway, Nansha Port Railway, and Liuzhao Railway, and will enhance railway freight transportation in Guangzhou. The transportation capacity is about 1/3.
"The Guangzhou Railway Hub is very busy, and the traffic capacity between Guangzhou Station and Guangzhou East Railway Station is almost saturated. It has stuck the'neck' of the Guangzhou Railway Hub towards Shenzhen and East Guangdong, and has become the biggest bottleneck restricting the transportation capacity of the Guangzhou Railway Hub. "The chief engineer of the Transportation Department of Guangzhou Railway Group told reporters.
With the development of the city, the distance between Guangzhou Railway Station and Guangzhou East Railway Station has become the core area of the city, and there is no room for adding new lines. The key to the "golden key" to break the dilemma and break through the bottleneck lies in the word "wind".

The newly built Guangshi Line bypasses the core area of the city and adopts a detour scheme of "wagons detour from the outside and buses go inside the city" to provide a diversion channel for long-distance passenger and freight trains going north to south, realizing passenger and freight separation, and eliminating passengers Cross interference between freight trains. This not only solves the problem of noise nuisance caused by trucks passing through the urban area, but also increases the transportation capacity of the Guangzhou Railway Hub, which is of positive significance for optimizing the urban road network structure and improving the flexibility of railway transportation organization.
Both ends of the Guangzhou-Shijiazhuang Line are connected to the Beijing-Guangzhou Line, the main trunk line of the general-speed railway in the country, and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Line, an important intercity passenger and freight railway passage in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. After the truck detours through the Guangzhou-Shijiazhuang Line, it will effectively release the transportation capacity of Guangzhou-Shenzhen Railway Lines III and IV, and open more high-speed rail and inter-city trains to Guangzhou Station and Guangzhou East Station for Guangzhou-Shenzhen Intercity and Guangzhou-Shantou High-speed Railway lines. Create convenient conditions. With the completion of the renovation of Guangzhou Station and Guangzhou East Station and the full completion of Guangzhou Baiyun (Tangxi) Station in the later period, the high-speed rail will enter the city center of Guangzhou in the future, realizing "general passengers go out and high-speed rail into the urban area".
