Train school pulling in more foreigners

The appeal of China's high-speed trains has made a training school in Wuhan, Hubei province, a popular destination for overseas visitors, who can use simulators to experience being a high-speed train "driver".

More than 400 foreigners from around 20 countries have so far visited the school, called Wuhan High-Speed Railway Vocational Skills Training Duan, since it was established in August 2014, according to the school.

The school's latest group of visitors comprised 23 employees from Ethiopia-Djibouti Railway Share Co, who visited the school on June 22 while participating for about two weeks in a seminar on railway management at Beijing Jiaotong University.
