As soon as May 15, 2024, the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway will resume the design speed of 350km h, and the Wuhan Electric Depot of China Railway Wuhan Bureau Group will carry out the CTCS-3 train control system from Wuhan Station to Guangzhou South Railway Station of the Beijing-Guangzhou High-speed RailwaySpeed up the transformation,Construction is scheduled to start on March 16, 2024 and be completed on May 15, 2024. So after the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway resumes the design speed of 350km h, how much faster can the whole journey be?
Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway plan schematic diagram Wuhan to Guangzhou high-speed railway from Wuhan Station to Guangzhou South Railway Station, a total length of about 1069 kilometers, the fastest train in the current operation is G79 80 times, Beijing West to Hong Kong West Kowloon, of which Wuhan to Guangzhou South section of the running time is 3 hours and 40 minutes, the calculated travel speed is about 292km h.
G79 train timetable Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway Beijing to Wuhan section of about 1222 kilometers long, has resumed 350km h design speed operation, the current current operation of the fastest train is G65 68 times, of which Beijing west to Wuhan section of the running time is 3 hours 48 minutes, the calculated travel speed is about 322km h.
G65 train timetable then the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway will resume the design speed of 350km h, and the travel speed will be calculated at 322km hThe fastest time from Wuhan Railway Station to Guangzhou South Railway Station is about 3 hours and 19 minutesIt will save 21 minutes compared to the current fastest service of 3 hours and 40 minutes, an increase of about 10%.。For super trunk lines such as the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, the increase in speed represents an increase in transportation capacity, that is, more trains can be run, so that more people can use the most convenient mode of transportation. The Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway is a north-south high-speed railway artery, which runs at a high speed, will simultaneously improve the efficiency of the lines connected to it, and the benefit area is huge, so it is of great significance for the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway to achieve high-speed operation. Of course, the fare will definitely be adjusted accordingly
Let's take a look at the changes in the running time of the entire Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway after the speed of 350km h, the Beijing-Kowloon benchmark G79 80 times will be compressed from 8 hours and 31 minutes to 8 hours and 10 minutes, and the Beijing-Guangzhou section will be compressed from 7 hours and 38 minutes to 7 hours and 17 minutes. There are some small regrets, not able to run into 8 hours and 7 hours, after the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway reaches a speed of 350km h, it will be difficult to break through this time for a long time in the future. Perhaps it can be expected that the latest CR450 EMU under development will run at a higher speed on the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway.
