Hunan takes a liking to maglev rail lines
Print Edition
CENTRAL China’s Hunan Province is preparing to build more middle-to-low speed maglev rail lines after the successful launch of the first domestic line in the province in 2016.
The first Chinese middle-to-low speed maglev rail line started operation last May in the provincial capital, Changsha. It travels between Changsha’s south railway station and the airport, with a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
Changsha plans to build another maglev line in the city’s Xiangjiang New Area.
After the train’s launch, it will only take 30 minutes to travel to the south railway station, and 45 minutes to Changsha Huanghua Airport.
Another maglev line is expected to be built within the year, in the province’s Zhuzhou City.
The 27.9km line will have 24 stops and start operation after a three-year construction period, according to the city government.
Beijing is also expecting its first medium-low speed maglev rail line to start operating this year.
