4.Beijing:The highly anticipated Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway will begin operation next year,and is expected to cut travel time to four hours,railway officials said.The high-speed railway between China's two most important metropolises was scheduled to open in 2012but will now open one year ahead of time,said Zheng Jian,chief planner with the Ministry of Railways.
Wang Zhiguo,vice-minister of railways,said that it would be a four-hour journey from Beijing to Shanghai,and only three hours from Beijing to Nanjing,capital of East China's Jiangsu province.
At present,it takes about 10hours to travel from Beijing to Shanghai and Nanjing by train.A new-generation bullet train that will travel up to 380kilometers per hour (kph) is now under development for the high-speed rail link.
It will be rigorously tested this year,and engineers want the train to run at a top speed of 420kph to guarantee a safe operational speed of 380kph,Huang Qiang,chief researcher with the China Academy of Railway Sciences told he Beijing News.
Vice-Minister Wang Zhiguo said it was expected that high-speed trains would one day take passengers from Beijing to most capital cities within eight hours,except for Haikou,Urumqi,Lhasa and Taipei.
It is expected that an 110,000-km railway network will be completed by 2012,including 13,000km of high-speed rail,he said.
China already has 6,552km of rail track in operation---the longest amount of high-speed rail track in the world.
At present,at least 10,000km of high-speed rail line is under construction in China.About 3,676km of new track for running trains at speeds up to 350kph have already been laid and put into operation.Another 2,876km of old tracks have been upgraded to run trains of 200to 250kph.
Ultimately,China plans to construct a 120,000-km railway network,including 50,000-km of high-speed rail track,by 2020.
The Ministry of Railways wants to export China's high-speed railway technology to North America,Europe and Latin America.
Wang said,"State-owned Chinese companies are already building high-speed lines in Turkey and Venezuela.Many countries,including the United States,Russia,Brazil and Saudi Arabia,have also expressed interest."
