Train change likely on unpopular route 2014-11-27
THE operators of the Jinshan Railway bullet train service between Shanghai South and Jinshanwei in southwest Jinshan District, are considering introducing new trains next year in a bid to turn around their ailing fortunes.
The company currently uses CRH2A trains, which have a top speed of 250km/h, even though the speed limit on the 56 kilometer route is just 160km/h.
“A new type of bullet train with a top speed of 160kph is going through trials, and will be ready next year,” Xiang Baoyu, general manager of the operating company, told thepaper.cn.
