But It's a 350km/h trainset! Why wouldn't they use at least CRH1 or something similar?

[trainrover]

Huh? 3250KPH? Is policy chasing urban sprawl there or is 22 to be a crosstown shuttle?

Maximum speed CRH2A/B/E: 250 km/h

Chengdu-Dujiangyan is 57 km like Line 22 - 65 km to Qingchengshan. And it is suited to 220 km/h.

I got annoyed by the "Aerospace Museum Station"-name. I went all out there to look at some airplanes..

The museum isn't even build yet.

This is nice. I'm all for increased mobility in the city. Interesting that they will use the CRH2, will this eventually be changed over to the CRH6? Like Pansori posted, why not use the CRH1 if 160km/h is the top speed for the line?

I'd like to see a map for this new line.

I'm glad they're serving drinks on Line 22. It's a 20-minute ride end-to-end; way too long to wait without having some orange juice. They need to introduce this on some of the other lines as well, such as the one that connects SHA to PVG.

As a matter of fact, the opening of Line 22 will make Shanghai South just the third station in China to be served by more than 2 subway lines (the others are Beijing North and Shanghai stations). And Tianjin station will also join this club in October when Lines 3 and 9 are connected to Line 2.

Other famous stations to be served by more than 2 subway lines include:
1. Stockholm Central (red, green and blue)
2. Los Angeles Union (red, purple and gold)
3. New York Grand Central (4, 5, 6, 7, S)
4. New York Penn (1, 2, 3, A, C, E)
5. New York Atlantic Terminal (2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q, R)
6. Moscow Kievskiy (3, 4, 5)
7. London King's Cross (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Northern, Piccadilly, Victoria)

This is really cool. No matter how fast it is, being able to take a CRH inside your city is just damn cool. Very interesting they're using a CRH2 on this....I love the idea, still scratching my head why they chose this train.

[hkskyline]

Do passengers need to buy separate CRH tickets or use their metro smart card on this line?

[big-dog]

Both are accepted. The train is CRH but the operation model follows Shanghai metro way.

It has long been possible to take CRH inside Shanghai. The stations of Shanghai West, Nanxiang North and Anting North are inside Shanghai.

While Jinshan is 56 km from Shanghai South, Kunshan South is 50 km from Shanghai.

Kunshan is in Suzhou, not Shanghai. Yet Kunshan is the richest city in China - far richer than Shanghai.

What should be done to improve rail services between Shanghai, Kunshan and suburbs of both in between such as Anting or Huaqiao?

Weren't there rumors of either extending line 11 into Suzhou or a commuter line from Shanghai West?
