Faster trains

Meanwhile, the national railway network will adopt a new train schedule starting on Monday, with changes including new lines and faster travel on existing lines, China State Railway Group said on Wednesday.

Beginning on Monday, bullet trains will be operated at the increased maximum speed of 350 km/h along the high-speed rail line linking Beijing and Wuhan, Hubei province, which is part of the line connecting Beijing and Guangzhou, Guangdong province.

That will cut the travel time between Beijing and Wuhan to 3 hours, 48 minutes-a half-hour faster than now. The Beijing-Guangzhou line is one of China's major north-south corridors for high-speed trains.

Fifty-seven trains will be operated on the faster line, reducing travel time between Beijing and many provincial capitals, including Shijiazhuang, Hebei province; Zhengzhou, Henan province; Changsha, Hunan province; Xi'an, Shaanxi province; Nanchang, Jiangxi province; Chengdu, Sichuan province; and Guiyang, Guizhou province.
