[Now News Channel]In order to facilitate the travel of citizens, it is understood that Hong Kong and the mainland are studying to change the operation mode of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed rail. Conduct technical and security assessments.
At present, citizens have to take a seat on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, and there is no waiting arrangement. Unlike the subway, you can “get on the train immediately”. It is also hard to find a ticket on special days.
Mr. Li, a high-speed rail passenger: “If you are in a hurry or go back to the mainland during the Chinese New Year, you can’t buy a ticket at any time. How can you buy a ticket for Qingming, Chinese New Year, etc.”
The government has set up a task force to study the “metroization” of high-speed rail. It is understood that the first phase of the study allows passengers to change the train more conveniently. For example, if a passenger enters the gate early after purchasing a ticket, he can immediately change to an earlier train if there is still a seat on the previous train .
In the next stage, we will study whether to add more stations. Considering that the maximum speed from Hong Kong to Shenzhen is 200 kilometers per hour, the speed is relatively slow and more feasible. Technical evaluation is underway to determine whether the design has exhausted the carrying capacity and safety issues.
Mainland high-speed trains have “no-seat tickets”, and cross-border high-speed trains also have indicator lights. Red means there are people sitting, and orange means people are sitting at the next station. If there are still more seats at the station in the future, you can choose orange or green lights Take your seat.
If you take this train like me, there is no indicator light, and passengers who buy tickets without seats can sit down when they see no one is sitting, but at the next station, if passengers who bought this seat get on the train, they have to stand at the door nearby.
The industry pointed out that the addition of high-speed rail stations will make travel more convenient.
Cui Dingbang, Director-General of the Tourism Promotion Association: “It’s a short 12-minute drive (to Shenzhen). It really doesn’t matter if I stand for a while, because it takes more than 12 minutes to stand by the subway from Tseung Kwan O to Lantian. (Inland high-speed rail) usually everyone stands They will choose between trucks and trucks. There are some passages in the middle. There may be toilets nearby. Standing in those spaces will not disturb others. Maybe there is something behind you to lean against. “Also can.”
As for the section north of Shenzhen, the maximum speed can reach 350 kilometers per hour, and it is difficult to add more stations. It is understood that it will be carefully studied with the mainland authorities, and no final decision has yet been made.
