The reporter learned from China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. that from 00:00 on July 1st, new train schedules will be implemented by the national railways. After the adjustment of the schedule, the national railway arranged 10592 passenger trains, an increase of 46 trains compared to the current schedule; 22182 freight trains were operated, an increase of 394 compared to the current plan, further improving the railway's passenger and freight transportation capacity, service quality, and operational efficiency.
The person in charge of the Transport Department of China Railway Group introduced that the implementation of the new plan will significantly improve the overall function and operational efficiency of China's railway network, further optimize the supply of passenger and freight transportation products, and provide reliable support for the overall improvement of China's economic operation and convenient travel for the people.
One is to expand the transportation capacity of the Beijing Tianjin intercity railway and the Guangzhou Shenzhen Hong Kong high-speed railway, to support the coordinated development of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region and the exchange of people between Hong Kong and the mainland. We will expand the transportation capacity of the Beijing Tianjin intercity railway by using multiple units of high-speed trains and the development of long train formations, with an increase of 31000 high-speed rail seats per day; The first operation of two G-shaped high-speed trains from Cangzhou West to Shijiazhuang via the Beijing Shanghai high-speed railway and the Shiji high-speed railway will further facilitate the travel of people along the line and support the coordinated development of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region. Coordinate the operation structure of daily and peak line trains on the Guangzhou Shenzhen Hong Kong high-speed rail, and increase the daily operation of 18 cross-border G-prefix EMU trains. Among them, the first cross-border G-prefix EMU train from Chengdu East to Hong Kong West Kowloon will be launched to facilitate the exchange of people between Hong Kong and mainland China.
The second is to increase the number of high-speed trains entering and exiting Northeast China to better serve the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China. For the first time, four benchmark G-shaped high-speed trains with few stops, fast travel speed, and short travel time were launched between Qiqihar South and Beijing Chaoyang. The running time was significantly reduced, with the fastest reaching 6 hours and 25 minutes; By extending the operating section, two long-distance G-series high-speed trains will be arranged to operate between Harbin West and Nanjing South, and between Harbin West and Xiangyang East. The transportation capacity of high-speed trains from Northeast to North China, Central China, and East China will be further improved.
The third is to improve the quality and operation of the western railway, injecting new momentum into the western development. The Lanzhou Xining high-speed railway operates at a high standard speed of 250 kilometers per hour for the Lanzhou Xining section. For the first time, G-shaped high-speed trains from Xining to Beijing and Shanghai will be operated. The fastest travel time between Beijing West and Shanghai Hongqiao to Xining will be 10 hours and 16 minutes, and 12 hours and 28 minutes, respectively. The travel time from Xining to Lanzhou will be compressed to 59 minutes; The Lanzhou to Xining section of the Lanzhou Xinjiang high-speed railway is scheduled to operate 4 G-series high-speed trains and 70 D-series high-speed trains. The speed of trains on the Xining Golmud section of the Qinghai Tibet Railway has been increased to 160 kilometers per hour, and for the first time, four Fuxing high-speed trains with concentrated power have been operated between Xining and Golmud. The running time has been greatly reduced, with a maximum speed of 5 hours and 59 minutes. The first time two benchmark G-shaped high-speed trains have been operated between Yinchuan and Beijing West via the Yinxi, Xulan, and Jingguang high-speed railways, with significantly reduced running time, reaching a maximum of 7 hours and 20 minutes. Add 6 G-shaped high-speed trains from Baotou to Beijing North and 2 D-shaped high-speed trains from Baotou to Qinghe to improve the transportation capacity of the Hohhot and Baotou high-speed trains to Beijing. Significantly improving the transportation capacity of the Xicheng high-speed railway, 10, 2, and 4 D-shaped high-speed trains will be added between Chengdu East and Xi'an North, Taiyuan South, and Yinchuan, and 2 G-shaped high-speed trains will be added between Guilin North and Taiyuan South.
The fourth is to compress the running time of ordinary speed passenger trains and comprehensively adjust the operating routes of tourist trains. Scientifically and evenly arrange the stopping time of ordinary speed passenger trains at stations, with an average compression time of about 23 minutes for direct ordinary speed passenger trains. Among them, the K727/6/7 train from Guangzhou East to Mudanjiang has a compression time of 7 hours and 16 minutes for the entire journey, and the Z350/1 train from Qingdao North to Baotou has a compression time of 5 hours and 32 minutes for the entire journey. We continue to operate public welfare "slow trains" and further improve the quality of operation of ordinary speed passenger trains; We will comprehensively adjust the travel train operation lines, arrange 27 long-distance lines from Manzhouli to Shenzhen East, 14 medium and long distance lines from Beijing Fengtai to Mount Huangshan, and 29 short distance lines from Taiyuan to Zhongwei. We will continue to build tourism train brands, build a high-quality railway tourism product system, and help the development of tourism economy according to market demand.
The fifth is to vigorously increase the number of freight trains and enhance the railway's ability to ensure smooth operation. Optimize the operation structure of main trunk trains, further enhance the freight capacity for outbound and inbound shipments, and increase the number of freight trains on major freight channels such as the Lanxin, Shenshan, Haoji, and Jingjiu railways by 98. Among them, the Lanxin railway will increase by 22 to meet the needs of coal transportation from Xinjiang to the outside, coal transportation from the north to the south, and grain transportation from the north to the south; Increase efforts to ensure the supply and transportation of electric coal, implement a capacity tilt towards the coal demand of power generation enterprises, and provide guarantees for peak summer seasons in various regions; Increase the number of direct express trains by 24, further improving the quality of train operation and supporting the development of modern logistics industry; 15 rural revitalization trains will be launched to provide strong support for consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and promoting rural revitalization development; Optimize the cross-border freight train operation plan, use the new ports to open 4 more China Europe trains and 3 more Central Asia trains, with a total number of 86 trains and 39 trains respectively, to maintain the stable operation of new land and sea routes in the west and cross-border freight trains of China Laos railway, smooth domestic and international circulation of services and stable quality improvement of foreign trade.
