China: High Speed Rail Network To Be Doubled
China: High Speed Rail Network To Be Doubled
China: High Speed Rail Network To Be Doubled China builds 6,000 miles of track in the time the UK only debates the merits of constructing 100 miles of high speed rail line. China has announced it will spend £60bn this year in an effort to almost double the size of its high speed rail network. The investment forms part of a project which represents the largest and fastest rail expansion programme in the world. Since 2008, and in the time Britain has taken only to debate the merits of one line - HS2 - which would be just over 100 miles long, China has built 6,000 miles of track, much of it elevated, and invested in 1,000 high speed trains. The network is currently almost double the combined length of Europe and Japan's railway networks. The programme, the government says, forms a key part of the country's drive to modernise, urbanise and pull the Chinese people out of poverty. Sky News took a ride on the 10am from Shanghai to Beijing. Bang on time, the shiny new bullet train pulled out of the city's Hongqiao station. The train, 16 carriages long, has three classes: standard, first and business, which resembles the interior of an aeroplane. China high speed trains China has built 6,000 miles of track since 2008 Sitting in a fully reclining airline-style seat is businessman Paul Zhou. He said: "Our country is building an entire high speed rail system and it has made our travel easier. "It has shortened the journey between cities. It helps a lot on our work and life. "On the airlines, there are always delays. They are very unreliable. "I used to travel by plane, but now I almost always use our high speed trains to go everywhere. They are comfortable, environmentally friendly, and always on time." Out of the window the Chinese countryside is a blur as the train reaches its cruising speed of 190mph. China now boasts the world's fastest train. The CRH380A, manufactured by the Qingdao Sifang Company, has a top speed of 237mph but in test runs it reached 302mph. The trains run on a network of new lines, many of which are elevated. Together they knit together more than 100 cities across the country. China high speed trains The country has the world's fastest train with a top speed of 237mph Each of the cities has a vast new station. Most look more like airport terminals and they are packed: proof that this railway revolution has got China moving. Another passenger, Zhao Changhua, is an office worker from the city of Jinan. She has just started commuting to Shanghai for work; a distance of 535 miles but a journey time of just four hours. She told Sky News: "It's very comfortable. It's convenient and fast. I'm very proud of it. "It's the result of the fast development of our country's technology. It has given great benefits to our lives. "This is my second time on a high-speed train, I think it's much easier than taking a plane. "Airports are far away from the city centre whilst train stations are closer. So I choose high speed trains." The journey from Shanghai, west, then north, to Beijing is 800 miles - the length of the UK. It is completed in four hours, 48 minutes. In second class, it costs the equivalent of £55, in first it is just under £100 and in business it costs £175. Outside we see glimpses of rural China carved up by the new lines, but we also spot new cities springing up. It is evidence that the new rail network is stimulating the local economy at every stop.- published: 14 Jan 2014

At a Crossing: California High Speed Rail
At a Crossing: California High Speed Rail
California is one of the largest states in the US. It's resident to more than 38 million people and as time forges ahead, it will continue to get bigger. Transport in California is already strained and with a growing population, the state faces a crisis in the coming decades. How can this transportation crisis within California be addressed? And how does High Speed Rail fit into this large, complex, equation? This documentary helps answers those questions and show how important High Speed Rail is to the future of California. Created for the Hillsdale High School 2012 - 2013 Senior Mastery Project, this one hour and twenty minute long documentary is the result of hours of research, revision, and development. Created for the sole purpose of promoting the concept and vision of High Speed Rail and what it will do for the public and people as a whole. I interview students, teachers, and industry professionals as they help paint the picture of what High Speed Rail is, how it applies to California, and how it address our growing demand for improved transportation. This documentary would not have been possible for the teachers, friends, family and rail fan community that helped shape this documentary into what you see now.

China's high speed rail revolution
China has a larger high-speed rail network than the entire European Union or the United States, according to a new World Bank report. The train network is set to double by 2020 and is a big part of China's economic strategy - enabling companies to trade directly with Central Asia and Europe. And China's railway builders are also ready to take their plans global, as Carrie Gracie reports.- published: 15 Jul 2014
