Wuhan-Guangzhou rail frequency down to 8 minutes at peak hours

CHINA expanded railway services this month with cargo and passenger capacity on the Wuhan-Guangzhou railway increasing as train frequencies between the two places some 900 kilometres come down to eight minutes at peak hours and every 20 minutes off peak.

Xinhua reported that Guangzhou Railway Group said since the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed passenger rail service upgraded from 33 runs daily to 63 runs daily at peak season, the passenger transportation pressure on the Wuhan-Guangzhou section of the Beijing-Guangzhou railway has been relieved, thus the cargo capacity on this section increased.

More than 250,000 tonnes in extra cargo capacity per day has been added to the Wuhan-Guangzhou railway, facilitating their plan to offer customers more diversified and tailor-made services of higher quality.

From July 1 on, China has increased the cargo rail service frequencies from 15 to about 20 runs every day and launched 11 new cargo service on the southern section of the Beijing-Guangzhou railway. China will also launch six new international intermodal and automobile rail transportation services from Yueyang to Hengyang, from Wuhan to Guangzhou and from Shaoguan to Hunan.
