Recently, Dongguan City announced that the Foshan-Zhaozhou, Dongguan-Huizhou intercity railway will enable a new version of the train schedule, in order to better meet the travel needs of the public, the map has extended the service time, optimized the stop plan, and increased the train line. This adjustment will greatly reduce the interval between vehicles, and will make it more convenient for Dongguan people to take the urban rail by adopting the "station stop + big station express" public transportation operation mode.
It is understood that the Foshan-Zhaozhou intercity railway runs 87 trains per day, an increase of 58 trains from the current one; The Dongguan-Huizhou Intercity Railway runs 80 trains per day, an increase of 41 trains from the current one. In addition, the minimum interval is reduced from 5 minutes after the map adjustment to 25 minutes. This adjustment allows passengers to travel as they go after purchasing tickets, making them more flexible in their itinerary arrangements.
The new version of the train timetable also adopts the method of "station stop + big station express" to meet the travel needs of different passengers. The Fozhao Intercity Station Express has fixed stops at 5 stations in Foshan West, Sanshui North, Dawang, Dinghu East and Zhaoqing; The express train of Dongguan-Huizhou Intercity Station has fixed stops at 6 stations: Xiaojinkou, Chenjiangnan, Changping South, Songshan Hubei, Xipingxi and Dongguan West.
The adjustment also extends the operating service hours. The first train from Foshan West Station of Foshan-Zhaoqing Intercity Railway to Zhaoqing is at 6:30 and the last train is at 21:35, and the operating time of the whole day has increased by about 15 hours; The first train from Zhaoqing Station to Foshan West will be at 6:00 and the last train will be at 22:50, increasing the operating time for about 3 hours throughout the day. The time of the first and last trains of Dongguan West Station of Dongguan-Huizhou Intercity Railway remains unchanged, the first train of Xiaojinkou Station is 6:15, and the last train is 21:35, and the all-day operation time of Xiaojinkou to Dongguan West has increased by about 15 hours;
This adjustment will further facilitate the travel of citizens in Foshan, Zhaoqing, Dongguan, Huizhou and other places, and is of great significance for promoting the integrated operation of rail transit in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. In the long run, this convenient intercity rail will provide citizens with more employment, education, and tourism options, which is expected to boost social development and economic prosperity.
This map adjustment has aroused the attention and discussion of the general public. The response on the Internet was also enthusiastic, and many citizens expressed their expectations and appreciation for the new version of the train schedule. They believe that this adjustment will greatly facilitate their travel, save time and energy, and improve the travel experience.
A similar event to this map adjustment is that in 2019, Guangzhou Metro adjusted its operation map, increased the number of trains online, and compressed the travel interval of vehicles, making it more convenient for citizens to travel. This adjustment has also been widely praised by citizens and has become an important milestone in the development of the city.
In terms of social impact, this convenient intercity rail operation model will help alleviate traffic congestion, improve travel efficiency, and promote regional economic development. In addition, the smooth flow of intercity railways can also promote the best logistics exchanges between cities, strengthen the development of regional integration, and provide people with more employment, education and tourism opportunities.
So far, there is no update on the progress of this mapping. We look forward to the implementation of this map adjustment as scheduled, and bring more convenience and development opportunities to the people of Dongguan.
To sum up, the Dongguan intercity railway map will bring more convenient travel methods to citizens and accelerate the coordinated development of the regional economy. We should actively support this initiative with great anticipation, and look forward to the further improvement and expansion of the intercity railway operation model.
