In 2024, the Ningbo-Guangzhou high-speed railway, which connects the Pearl River Delta region and eastern Guangdong, will usher in the "debut" of the Spring Festival.
Today is the 7th day of the Spring Festival, there are many passengers in the carriage, we must do a good job of smooth operation, from 0 kilometers to 350 kilometers per hour, the whole process must be done smoothly. On February 1, Li Yulang will take the G8418 train from Guangzhou East to Shantou South, and before leaving, he told the driver Wang Xukui.
Li Yulang, 33 years old this year, is a young instructor driver of the Guangshan team of Shantou Locomotive Depot, leading the 18 high-speed rail drivers in the group to fight day and night on the Guangshan and Shanshan high-speed railways, silently guarding the warm travel of passengers.
Taking the high-speed rail to and from Shantou and Guangzhou, just like going from the countryside to the county town to catch the market when I was a child, you can go back and forth on the same day, which is really convenient! At 22:18, the G8418 train arrived at Shantou South Railway Station on time, and Mr. Wang, a passenger, said happily. When they saw the bustling passengers getting off the train and leaving the station, Li Yulang and Wang Xukui had happy smiles on their faces.
The Guangshan and Shanshan high-speed railways pass through the coastal areas of high salt and high humidity, with complex hydrogeological environment, the maximum slope is more than 20, and the bridge-tunnel ratio is about 85%, which is an extremely test of the driver's control skills. During the Spring Festival, the Shantou Locomotive Depot was responsible for the driving duty of more than 90 trains on two lines.
In recent years, China Railway has deeply implemented the Fuxing brand strategy, and the smooth operation of the Fuxing train of the Guangshan and Shanshan high-speed railways has become the key to the passenger experience.
With a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, which means more than 90 meters in 1 second, smooth handling is extremely important and related to the personal experience of passengers. When driving the high-speed rail, every driver must have passengers in his heart, so that he can drive the car well. At 20:30 on the evening of January 31, at the driver's study meeting, Li Yulang educated everyone like this.
Every time he adds a ride, he and the driver will record the number of trains, the number of vehicles, the length of the change, the tonnage, the business station and other specific items on the "driver's handbook", and know every detail of starting, running, and benchmarking parking. Through careful analysis of the performance of various types of EMUs, simulated operation and on-site teaching are often carried out, and every high-speed rail driver in the group is strived to become a "master" of smooth operation.
Our average age is in our early 30s, and it is the time when we are in the prime of life, so we need to devote our energy to the Spring Festival and let passengers go home comfortably and happily for reunion. He often enlightens his colleagues like this.
Since June last year, Li Yulang has participated in the joint commissioning and trial operation of the Guangshan and Shanshan high-speed railways, repeatedly compared the Fuxing high-speed rail trains, depicted the "smooth operation schematic diagram", explored and summarized the "stable start and stop, stable operation, and standard" Fuxing smooth operation method and popularized its application, which has become a magic weapon for the smooth operation of the majority of drivers.
On December 26, 2023, as the driver of the first train of the Shanshan high-speed railway, Li Yulang's maneuvering skills have been widely praised. Since the Spring Festival, he has led the drivers in the group to go all out to drive every high-speed rail smoothly and achieve "zero complaints" from passengers.
