WOW nice! I think the interior of this train looks better than the CHR2(shinkansen) one.

UD2 · February 1st, 2007, 08:32 AM

I thought the exterior looked better than the 2, but interior wise, I thought the CRH2 looked to be of a higher class than the 1.

CRH1's interior looks very much like a commuter train (that's not a good thing in my books)

And that huge door and the sign display right above the door just look so much something I would take to work.

But what I will have to admit is that this train is a much better candidate for the NXXX inter-city trains than the CRH2.

I just love how this train looks on the outside

The interior gives me a plastic feeling.

superchan7 · February 1st, 2007, 11:38 PM

LOL the last picture, is that a broken window?

I like this train more than the Shinkansen one. It has a better interior.

zergcerebrates · February 1st, 2007, 11:39 PM

^ LOLZ. Perhaps because a lot of things are still sealed in plastic sheets.

Nice trains.
One note though, they should put more Chinese signs outside than English signs, so that ordinary Chinese can understand what CRH means, and how fast 250km/h is for example.

Very Nice Trains, that's fantastic to travel between 2 world class cities within an hour.

Does it run on traditional railway or a special line is built for it?

The CRH1 is derived from the Swedish X50-series (see pictures):

pictures:Järnväg.net

These trains are used in Sweden for (Inter)Regional trainservices.

The next series will be the CRH3, build by Siemens and derived from the spanish Velaro E (see picture):

They seem to have a complex Stair System, are there big Differences in Platform Height?

ChinaboyUSA · February 3rd, 2007, 11:46 AM

Did CRH debut between Guangzhou - Shengzhen?
I saw a CRH photo titled Chongqing, so what about Chongqing, so did Chongqing - Chengdu made their running debut as well?

If you use other's technologies, then you should acknowledge the sources,

Xinhuanet, Renminribao and other Chinese newspapers just focuses on "Chinese made" and not a single word on foreign technologies just makes one wonder whether intellectual property is respected at all

UD2 · February 4th, 2007, 03:18 AM

this train has a very high floor. at least 15 cms higher than any other train running in China ATM

superchan7 · February 4th, 2007, 10:44 AM

I think they should avoid mentioning the Japanese origin for a while. The train runs to Nanjing!

so if they mention it's japanese train and angry mob throw rocks at japanese consulate, are you going to accuse chinese government of brainwashing people into hating japan?

and it is chinese made, there is nothing wrong with mentioning that. the word used is 国产，which simply means made in china.

^ the CRH5 is a shinkansen right?

Nozumi 300 · February 5th, 2007, 11:49 PM

....

superchan7 · February 6th, 2007, 03:41 AM

CRH5 is from Alstom, the Pendolino model. It is a high-speed tilting train.

Sen · February 6th, 2007, 04:48 AM

CRH1: Bombardier Regina C2008
CRH2: Kawasaki Shinkansen E2-1000
CRH3: Siemens ICE3
CRH5: Alstom (Fiat) Pendolino

there is no CRH4 because 4 is unlucky, keke, they are afraid people would die in that train....

hope that clear everything up
