Hey Lawdefender. Can I ask you something about Guangzhou's new Baiyun Station? It looks amazing and is certainly among the very best Chinese High Speed Rail Stations in my opinion.
Do you about the types of trains that will be serving the New Baiyun Station?
I suspect that it will probably become a new station that will partly replace the Guangzhou South High Speed Station for high speed train services using the Wuhan - Guangzhou, Guiyang - Guangzhou and Nanning - Guangzhou High Speed Lines that terminate in Guangzhou. It's far closer and better connected to the city centre, Zhujiang New Town and Pazhou than the South Station.
In this way, Guangzhou South Station would be freed up for more through high speed train services such as services from Beijing, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guiyang, Nanning and Kunming that continue towards Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Zhuhai.
I also believe that once the Guangzhou - Shanwei High Speed Line opens in 2023, services to cities east or north east of Guangzhou such as Shantou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ganzhou, Nanchang, Hangzhou, Wenzhou and Shanghai will use the currently under construction Guangzhou Xintang station.
Do you have any information regarding my query?
