Beijing-Tianjin express railway expected
www.chinanews.cn 2007-03-03 16:51:05
Mar. 3 – Chinese political advisors from Tianjin are hoping that an
intercity express passenger railway between the major port city in north
China and the national capital of Beijing will boost the development of
the municipality.
Members of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political
Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from Tianjin, who are arriving here for
the annual session of the country’s top political advisory body slated to
open on March 3, said they are glad to hear that the railway will start
operation next year.
The intercity railway, scheduled to be completed in 2008, will help boost
economic cooperation between Tianjin and Beijing, and bring people in the
two cities closer, said CPPCC National Committee member Bao Jingling,
chief engineer of the Tianjin Environmental Protection Science Research
Institute.
The current two traffic alternatives between Tianjin and Beijing can no
longer well serve the cooperation and exchanges between the cities, said
CPPCC National Committee member Liang Yanjun.
The design of the Beijing-Tianjin expressway now cannot meet the demand
from the increasing road traffic flux between the cities, and the lack of
city metros that connect the railway station in Tianjin seems to have
offset the speed of the current intercity passenger train, Liang said.
When the 115-km express railway is completed, the trains are expected to
be able to ride at a speed of 350 km per hour, shortening the trip
between the two cities to less than half an hour from the current 80
minutes.
In 2010, the railway will be linked to subway networks of the two cities.
The construction of the intercity railway started in July 2005, with an
estimated total cost of 12.34 billion yuan (1.56 billion U. S. dollars).
