Now we can often hear that a certain high-speed rail project is striving to be included in the national plan, and the reason why they are trying their best to enter the plan is mainly because projects that are not included in the plan are not allowed to start construction in principle. This plan does not refer to the railway network planning of each province itself, but refers to the national railway planning, which mainly includes the medium and long-term railway network planning and the five-year special railway plan, as well as the special planning approved by the state, such as the multi-level rail transit plan in the Yangtze River Delta region.
At present, the 2016 version of the medium- and long-term railway network plan and the 14th Five-Year Plan for railway development are applicable to the national railway plan, and the current plan for inclusion in many projects refers to the revised version of the current medium- and long-term railway network plan, that is, the medium- and long-term railway network plan in the new era.
The high-speed rail projects that are included in the planning are mainly divided into two categories, one is already the current medium and long-term railway network planning line, the purpose of which is to continue to be in the planning, and the other is the high-speed rail planned by the local government, which has not entered any national railway planning before, and is now obviously to find a superior basis for the implementation of the project.
However, a common feature of these high-speed rail projects is that they are not yet feasible and necessary to implement in the short term, and even if they are successfully incorporated into the new medium- and long-term rail network planning, most of the lines are estimated to be difficult to start construction in the next 5-10 years. So what are the main high-speed railways planned by these places? Let's take a part of it.
The Changsha-Kowloon high-speed railway, that is, the Changsha-Jiujiang high-speed railway, is only a planned line in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, and the local government has started the planning study of the line, but it is only here at present, and there is not much progress and implementation possibility.
The Zhumadian to Zhoukou-Shangqiu intercity railway is a planned line in Henan Province and has been included in the "Central Plains Urban Agglomeration (Henan) Intercity Railway Construction Plan (2024-2030)" (draft for comments), but this plan has not yet been approved by the state.
The Jiangxi section of the Xianxiu-Yiji Railway, namely the Xianning-Xiushui-Yichun-Ji'an high-speed railway, has been proposed for more than ten years and has entered the relevant planning of Hubei and Jiangxi provinces, but has not entered the national railway network planning, and is still being struggling.
The Xiamen-Kunming high-speed rail corridor from Xiamen to Kunming is also often mentioned, consisting of multiple sections, and different routes have been proposed, such as the Meizhou-Zhangzhou high-speed railway, the Shaoguan-Longchuan high-speed railway, the Shaoguan-Hezhou section, the Kunming-Baise section, etc., all of which hope to be able to enter the planning.
Lailin high-speed railway, namely Laiwu to Linyi high-speed railway, is a planned line in Shandong Province, planning to connect with Jilai high-speed railway at Gangcheng Station, through Tai'an Xintai City, Linyi Mengyin County, Linyi Yinan County into Linyi North Station, a total length of about 115 kilometers.
The Liaocheng-Tai'an-Laiwu-Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway auxiliary channel and Binzhou-Zibo railway planned by Shandong Province are also striving for higher-level planning support.
The Quzhou-Huangshan high-speed railway, which is located in Anhui and Zhejiang provinces, is also seeking to be included in the "Medium- and Long-term Railway Network Plan for the New Era 2020-2035".
The Huaibei-Shangqiu (Yongcheng) high-speed rail line has entered the "14th Five-Year Plan" outline of Anhui Province and the provincial "14th Five-Year Plan" for the development of modern comprehensive transportation system as a preliminary research project, and is currently striving to be included in the relevant national plans.
Chengba'an Railway Scheme Chengba'an Railway Planning starts from Chengdu, through Mianyang City, Nanchong City, Bazhong City, Dazhou City to Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, although the high-speed rail is striving to be included in the plan, but from the relevant responses, the conditions for inclusion are not mature.
The Bozhou-Bengbu railway is a line planned by Anhui Province, and the Bozhou-Mengcheng section is planned to be implemented in the near future, and the Mengcheng-Huaiyuan-Bengbu section is planned in the long term, but it has not yet officially entered the national railway network planning.
The Wuhan-Anqing high-speed railway, which passes through Hubei and Anhui provinces, also lacks national planning support and is actively striving to be included in the plan.
The Kunchu Dali high-speed railway planned by Yunnan Province is initially planned to be built according to the standard of high-speed intercity railway with a speed of more than 350 kilometers per hour, but the necessity and feasibility have yet to be demonstrated.
Hubei Province's planning of the first to Yichang railway, Jingmen through Suizhou high-speed railway, Wugui high-speed railway, etc., in fact, in the national railway planning, there is no figure of these projects, and they are currently striving to be included in the revision of the medium and long-term railway network planning.
The Nanzhufu High-speed Railway, that is, the Nanyang to Fuyang high-speed railway via Zhumadian, is a high-speed railway planned by Henan Province and Anhui Province, and is not currently included in the relevant national planning.
The Hekang high-speed railway, which is often mentioned, is actually only included in the planning of the high-speed railway from Nanyang (Xiangyang) to Hefei via Xinyang, and the section west of Nanyang (Xiangyang) has not been included in the national planning for the time being.
The above are only some of the high-speed rail lines planned by the local government, and it is worth mentioning that, according to the public situation in various places, some of the above projects have initially entered the planning that is being revised, and some have made it clear that it is very difficult to include them in the planning.
