just built, under test run now

Beautiful! Do you have a route map?

Interesting, but can we have some original idea here? Every new subway in China is like the MTR.

Tonka Truck · June 4th, 2005, 09:29 PM

Very nice! Do you have pictures of the front of the train? How about the stations? What type of rolling stock is that?

Looks so nice, so high-end

who made the train?

ailiton · June 4th, 2005, 10:40 PM

Just a copy of Hong Kong's MTR.

Looks nice, everything's so shiny, but I don't like the cheap-looking seats inside. What's the population of the city? And why do they have an Olympic Station?

Very nice stations and modern trains! Really like it!

Zhangfuyuan's columns look like Shenzhen's Zhuzilin Station columns.

Why didn't install platform screen doors.

hktreasure · June 5th, 2005, 12:32 PM

when I saw the first pic, I thought it is MTR Tung Chung Line.

superchan7 · June 5th, 2005, 12:37 PM

One thing China's subways were quick to adopt is the generous use of large LCD screens to display information and advertisements (HK MTR has none at all in any station or train). Platform screens are very expensive to make and install; even very developed countries are unwilling to invest in them.

HK is the world's first city to install screens in old stations built without them. The MTR paid HK$2 billion (well over 200 million US dollars) to do that.

The trains look really nice.

I know platform screen doors are much more expensive to install and maintain than plasma displays/lcds but isn't it interesting to note that the Nanjing subway authorities given a choice between the two, decided to install plasma displays (considered a luxury for those who have nothing else better to do with their money) rather than the psds (pretty much standard in most new metro systems).

Going by the pictures, there are about 6 displays per platform times 2 platforms times 16 stations, that equates to about 192 displays at least. Thats even more Singapore's North East Line count of 128 displays at its platforms in its 16 stations. Isn't that excessive?

Otherwise Alstom really designs great trains. Better interior and exterior designs, more pleasing to the eye and sleeker. That touch of blue is cool too.

But it sucks that every metro in China is starting to look like HK's MTR, not because HK's MTR suck or anything, its just that they do a bad job is copying the MTR style over to the mainland....no offence....

Little bit simmilar to Warsaw's Alstom Metropolis trains.

Yeah the right angled window edges and the curved and sleek handlebars. Also found on the Alstom Metropolis trains in Singapore. This Alstom look goes well with any metro system anywhere......
