Thanks for the updates.

Do you have any map of the metro line that shall open in October 2012, and where the high speed railway stations are?

[VECTROTALENZIS]

HSR stations have symbols, there is one in the center and two to the upper right.

The red Line 1 is opening in October 2012.

What line it connects?

BTW, from the lines in the metro system, which one connects to the airport?

It's on the map. It's line 7. Look at the map. It's orange.

Logo can be a bit generic, but I do love the way the letters H and M are fused to form the metro's logo.

Check the Harbin metro logo, it's nice.

As I can guess, the rolling stock is Alstom Metropolis, like that in Shanghai, lines 1, 2 and 10 and like in all lines in Nanjing.

One pics taken with the cellphone by me. The construction plot is not very far from the Canal and Hangzhou towers shopping city, some 300 m away.

Actually judgeing from the first page of this thread, they are B-size trains with a quite distinctive look to them, as its not a copy/paste model from another city. That being said they do look cheaply made.

I thought all new rolling stock on China's metros are licensed produced in China under a Chinese name. Is that true?

[_Night City Dream_]

Not always.

I believe those Metropolis cars made by CSR Puzhen have both CSR and Alstom badges, at least that's what I saw on newer cars on Shanghai Line 2.

In Shanghai line 2 the trains are not like that. They are pretty much wider and feature 5 doors at each side, while here you can see 4.

Better compare Hangzhou train with Shanghai trains ob line 6 (Hello Kitty) and 8.

The train, however, in my opinion is sleeker than those in Shanghai.

P.S. The image provided by you is too large.

Hangzhou Metro has a sweet looking logo. Very clever, looks almost '70's to me.

Everything seems to be in full swing now!!!

I'm responding to an earlier post about the badge, the line 2 cars made by PZ has Alstom badges. Yeah the picture is large even on my 1900x1200 monitor but that's what PZ has on its website.

It is September.

Is Hangzhou metro on schedule to open on 1st of October?

Why is there no lines crossing the West Lake? There's a lot of people (most tourists) around the lake every hour and it's not easy to get out if you are at the far side of the lake. At least a branch line should be built connecting the most famous spot of Hangzhou.
