京廣高鐵鄭州至武漢段正式通車運(yùn)營

中原崛起，通江達(dá)海連九州；服務(wù)社會，迎來送往抵八方。隨著鄭州東站G501次、武漢站G502次相向同時發(fā)車，京廣高鐵鄭州至武漢段于9月28日正式通車運(yùn)營，鄭州至武漢間火車運(yùn)行時間由原來的最快4小時28分鐘縮短至1小時56分鐘。

京廣高鐵鄭州至武漢段是我國以“四縱四橫”為主骨架的快速鐵路網(wǎng)中北京至廣州至深圳高速鐵路的重要組成部分，營業(yè)里程536公里，設(shè)計時速350公里，初期運(yùn)營時速300公里。鄭州至武漢段開通運(yùn)營為年底前京廣高鐵全線貫通奠定了基礎(chǔ)。同時，這條高鐵與已經(jīng)運(yùn)營的鄭州至西安、武漢經(jīng)廣州到深圳、武漢至合肥、合肥至南京等高鐵連為一體，實現(xiàn)了中原、長三角、珠三角高鐵網(wǎng)與西安等西部地區(qū)高鐵的聯(lián)通成網(wǎng)。

京廣高鐵鄭州至武漢段開通運(yùn)營初期，將開行 24對動車組列車，均按照時速300公里運(yùn)行。其中：鄭州東至深圳北1對，至廣州南4對，至長沙南2對，至武漢3對，至信陽東2對；鄭州至廣州南1對，至武漢1對；西安北至武漢1對，至廣州南4對，至長沙南1對，至深圳北1對；信陽東至廣州南2對，至武漢1對。

為確保京廣高鐵鄭州至武漢段通車運(yùn)營安全順利，鐵路建設(shè)、運(yùn)營單位在開通前期開展了靜態(tài)驗收、聯(lián)調(diào)聯(lián)試、動態(tài)檢測和運(yùn)行試驗，對高鐵各系統(tǒng)和整體系統(tǒng)性能、功能進(jìn)行了嚴(yán)格調(diào)試，對正常和非正常運(yùn)行條件下的行車組織和應(yīng)急救援進(jìn)行了全面演練，制定完善了高鐵運(yùn)營規(guī)章制度，對運(yùn)營人員進(jìn)行了全面培訓(xùn)。

京廣高鐵鄭州至武漢段通車運(yùn)營后，對于方便中原地區(qū)與東、西部地區(qū)之間的人員流動，促進(jìn)沿線經(jīng)濟(jì)社會發(fā)展，推動中部崛起、西部大開發(fā)發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略的實施具有十分重要的意義。

從西安出發(fā)，2小時可抵鄭州，4小時登高黃鶴樓，6小時暢飲長沙水，9小時后欣賞深圳“世界之窗”，實現(xiàn)了“乘高鐵、看三江，一日游遍陜粵湘”一日生活圈的夢想。

A new high-speed railway， which connects the capital cities of Henan and Hubei provinces in Central China， was put into service in September 28， creating a new north-south corridor in the national high-speed rail grid.The new line decreases the travel time between the two cities to two hours， down from four and a half hours.Construction began on the 536 km line， with a total investment of 57 billion yuan ($9 billion)， in 2008， with a top designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour.For now， the new line will carry 24 pairs of trains every day， with a speed limit of 300 km/h， railway authorities said.The line is a major part of the 2，300-km Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway， China’s longest high-speed line in planning， which is expected to open by the end of the year.

Zhang Junbang， head of the Zhengzhou Railway Bureau， said at the line’s opening ceremony that the new line is connected with many existing highspeed lines， creating a larger fast-track network in the region with great social and economic benefits.The line， which extends the Wuhan-Guangzhou line to the north， links many major railway hubs， such as Zhengzhou， Wuhan， Xi’an， Guangzhou and Nanjing， on a grid connected by high-speed railways.

\"The line will increase passenger flows to stimulate local economic development， which will help build inland Central China as an economic highland and serve the national strategy of going west，\" Zhang said.

\"Taking the high-speed train is a convenient and comfortable experience，\" said Robert Speed， a consultant with the World Wide Fund for Nature， who was among the first group of passengers on the line.

He said he prefers the train over flying from Zhengzhou to Wuhan because the trip is faster and cheaper.

\"The high-speed train is driven by electricity， so it is also a more ecofriendly travel way for mass transportation，\" he said.

Kang Qiang， a businessman from Zhengzhou who frequently travels between the city and Wuhan， said the new line will be his first choice in the future.

\"On the train I don’t have to turn off my cell phone， and the seat provides a power supply that allows me to use my laptop，\" he said.

\"Also， trains are more punctual in departure and arrival than planes，\" he added.
