Yangtze River Delta Railway will implement new train operation chart from tomorrow

The reporter learned from China Railway Shanghai Group Co., Ltd. that from 0:00 on October 11, the national railways will implement the train operation chart for the fourth quarter of 2026. After the map adjustment, the total number of passenger trains on the Yangtze River Delta Railway reached 1,435.5 pairs, an increase of 2 pairs compared with before the map adjustment; the total number of freight trains operating on the Yangtze River Delta Railway reached 1,383 pairs, an increase of 5.5 pairs compared with before the map adjustment. The total number of passenger trains and freight trains reached record highs respectively.

Many places in Anhui have implemented high-speed rail to Beijing for the first time

In the new map, relying on the newly added channel capacity after the opening of the Xiongshang section of the Beijing-Hong Kong high-speed railway, and seizing the opportunity of Hefei West Station being a key node of the Anhui section of the Beijing-Hong Kong high-speed railway to be officially connected to the main line, five pairs of cross-line high-speed train products are designed to run from Hefei west to Beijing west, Hefei to Beijing west, Huangshan north to Beijing west, and Shanghai Hongqiao to Xiongan. As a result, Jiuhuashan in southern Anhui, Lujiang and Shouxian in central Anhui, Tongcheng in southwestern Anhui, and Bozhou in northwestern Anhui have received high-speed trains to Beijing for the first time. From Hefei West Station, Jiuhuashan Station, Lujiang West Station, Tongcheng East Station, Shouxian Station, Gucheng East Station, and Bozhou South Station to Beijing, there is no need to detour and transfer (or take a normal speed train) to achieve direct high-speed rail access.

Travel time between Shanghai and Chengdu and Chongqing areas is further reduced

In the new map, the Yangtze River Delta Railway Department further improves the regional train operation structure and strives to improve passenger commuting efficiency through measures such as adding intercity commuter trains and optimizing train departure points.

In order to facilitate residents in Shanghai, Jiaxing, Hangzhou and other places to commute during morning and evening peak hours, Xintu plans to add 7 additional morning and evening peak commuter trains. Among them, 5 intercity morning commuter trains including Shanghai Hongqiao-Hangzhou G7635, Shanghai South-Hangzhou G7637, Hangzhou-Shanghai South G7638, Hangzhou-Shanghai Hongqiao G7640 and Hangzhou-Shanghai Hongqiao G7654 were added; 2 intercity late commuter trains such as Shanghai Hongqiao-Hangzhou G7639 and Shanghai Hongqiao-Hangzhou G7651 were added.

Improve Yiwu hub function

In the new map, the hub function of Yiwu Station has been further improved. As the largest county-level railway station in Zhejiang Province, the reconstructed and expanded Yiwu Station has moderately expanded its capacity, realizing the simultaneous operation of three stations: "General Speed ​​Station + Shanghai-Kunming High-speed Railway Station + Hangzhou-Wenzhou High-speed Railway Station". Daily passenger trains have increased from the current 226 to 272.

Optimize freight product matrix

In this map adjustment, Shanghai Railway Group has optimized the freight train operation plan by adjusting truck traffic routes and adding freight trains based on changes in the cargo source structure and increasing demand, shortening transportation time, reducing transportation costs, vigorously undertaking "road-to-rail" transportation, ensuring the transportation of key materials for the national economy and people's livelihood, assisting green and low-carbon development, and serving the construction of a new development pattern.

Xintu continues to focus on the domestic and international logistics markets and further optimizes the product matrix of domestic trains and China-Europe (Central Asia) trains.

Domestically, one new fast intercity train, Qiaosi-Duoluokou X251/4/1, is added, with an estimated additional transportation volume of 60,000 tons; customized train products are launched, and one fast intermodal train, Nanxiang-Changchun Nan

On the international front, one new international intermodal train product (Nanxiang, Jinhua East-Pingxiang Port X9109) from China to Vietnam has been added, with an estimated additional capacity of 2,000 TEUs.

The railway department reminds that for the latest passenger and freight train operation information and service information, passengers and customers can inquire through railway 12306, 95306 websites, clients, WeChat and other channels, or pay attention to the dynamic information and announcements issued by railway stations in various places to reasonably arrange itineraries and cargo transportation matters.
