Rail authorities vow to keep trains running on time
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-07-30 21:45 A railway line named S2 will begin operation before the Olympics to connect downtown Beijing to the northwest suburbs where the Great Wall and other attractions are located, said Zhang. "The line will help tourists who want to tour the Great Wall," he said. New trains will run on the line at up to 16 km per hour, he said. A one-way journey of the full length of the line would be about 57 minutes. The authorities raised speeds on the trunk lines linking major cities from under 200 km per hour to 200 to 250 km per hour in April last year. By the end of 2007, China had 78,000 km of railway, the world's third largest rail network. |
