Kunming-Guiyang section of Shanghai-Kunming HSR completes test

Recently, train number EMU CRH380completed a comprehensive test run of the Kunming-Guiyang section of the Shanghai-Kunming passenger dedicated high-speed railway (HSR) in about two hours. It reached a speed of 300 kilometres per hour.

In September, the Guizhou section of the HSR entered the alignment joint-test stage. After nearly three months of closed debugging tests, the Kunming-Guiyang section is now ready for comprehensive tests, after which it will enter a trial run period, before officially going into operation at the end of 2016.

The Shanghai-Kunming passenger dedicated HSR will stop at Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Changsha, Guiyang and Kunming. The line has a design speed of 350 kilometres per hour and a total length of 2,266 kilometres. When operational, it will be China’s longest east-west HSR and will run through the largest number of provinces and municipalities. When the Kunming-Guiyang section—which is the last section of the HSR to be completed—goes into operation, a train trip for Kunming to Guiyang will be shortened to two hours. A trip to Changsha will take five hours, and to Shanghai or Beijing, about ten hours. Yunnan will soon be integrated into the national high-speed rail network.
