The train speed is supposed to be 220 km/h, and intervals 3 minutes.

Since there are also mentions of 300 km/h, what is the planned speed after all?

What shall the Shanghai-Hangzhou line be like?

The train will cut travelling time from the current hour-and-a-half to just 38 minutes, travelling at a top speed of 350km/h.

There will be nine stations: Hongqiao, Songjiang, Fengjing, Jiashan, Jiaxing, Tongxiang, Haining, Yuhang and eastern Hangzhou.

Shall the 38 minute trip time include all intermediate stops?

When shall the rail line open?

upgraded from 200-250 km/h to over 300 km/h as of November 12th, 2008. More elevated rail added, cost increased.

Did the completion date, 1st of July 2010, remain?

Target speed 300 km/h:

How long is the route?

^^ 248.963km

The beautiful thing is there was no direct rail link between Nanjing and Hangzhou. All trains have to stop and Shanghai, which wastes a lot of mileage. (as shown below)

The new route shortens the distance between Nanjing and Hangzhou dramatically.

^^ It's a real, real shame that the Hangzhou Bay Bridge didn't include a deck for rail.

I can see Yangtze, Hangzhou bay and mouth islands on the map, but Taihu is missing.

Is it Suzhou where the yellow, blue and violet lines get together?

Is it Suzhou where the yellow, blue and violet lines get together?

yes it is Suzhou.

Suzhou looks to occupy a very favourable spot, in the middle of Jiangnan. And it is itself a big old city.

Are there any plans to improve links between Suzhou and Hangzhou?

^^ yes, Suzhou is not a very good city but its GDP ranks 4th ~ 5th of all Chinese cities.

Suzhou-Jiangxing-Hangzhou expressway is available (no need to detour to Shanghai)

HSR is planned as yellow link in above map.

Which month of 2010 is Shanghai-Hangzhou supposed to open?

What's the matter with the weird purple line linking Changzhou and Suzhou?

^^ It's a real, real shame that the Hangzhou Bay Bridge didn't include a deck for rail.

They can always build another bridge.:lol:
But the reason is that they built the Hangzhou bridge too quickly, instead of waiting for the highspeed railway plans.

Which month of 2010 is Shanghai-Hangzhou supposed to open?

Currently planned for 1st of October.

And now Shanghai-Hangzhou is open, and Shanghai-Nanjing-Beijing shall open on 28th instant.

When is Nanjing-Huzhou-Hangzhou high speed line due to open?

Hangzhou -Ningbo line will be open this year...

Hangzhou -Ningbo line will be open this year...
