50 minutes! Beijing West Speed to Xiong’an
At 10:18 a.m. yesterday, a silver Fuxing car left Xiong’an Station on time, full of passengers, and headed for Beijing West Railway Station. On the same day, the new section of the Beijing-Xiong Interurban Railway from Daxing Airport to Xiong’an was inaugurated. The Beijing-Xiong Intercity Railway was fully connected. The fastest travel time from Beijing West Station to Xiong’an Station was 50 minutes, and the fastest from Daxing Airport to Xiong’an Station was 19 minutes. .
The Beijing-Xiong Interurban Railway has a total length of 91 kilometers and a maximum design speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The section from West Beijing to Daxing Airport will open for operation in 2019. The new section from Daxing Airport to Xiongan, which opened yesterday, is 59 kilometers long, with four stations including Daxing Airport. , Gu’an East, Bazhou North and Xiong’an.
At 9:30 a.m., Hu Meiying, a 44-year-old villager from Dayang Village, Anxin County, Xiong’an, brought her 8 and a half-year-old son to Xiong’an Station and waited to take the first train to Beijing. Hu Meiying worked in the garment industry in Beijing for more than ten years. “In the past, it took more than two hours to get from Xiong’an to Beijing by bus. After the high-speed train opened, it saved more than an hour, but the fare was not very expensive.” For Xiong’an Station, the full fare ranges from RMB 48 to RMB 68.
With the completion of the Beijing-Xiong Intercity Railway, the Xiong’an Station was put into operation simultaneously. The station is a bridge station with 3 floors above ground and 2 floors below ground, with a total construction area of 475,000 square meters. The appearance of the station building is in the form of a “green lotus dripping dew”, with an oval shape of water droplets. The station’s iconic “gallery of lights” design has become a popular search point. Xiong’an Station has a large building, but it is very convenient to enter and wait for the bus. Passengers can freely choose between waiting at ground level or waiting at an elevated level for the train tracks. An exit mezzanine is also established between the ground floor and the platform level to perform “layered entry and exit, arrival and departure separation” for passengers.
At 10:18, the train left on time and the carriage passengers were overjoyed. The Intercity Beijing-Xiong has “landscapes in the four seasons”, integrating multiple elements of railways, ecology, wisdom, landscape and culture to create an “ecological corridor” composed of landscapes, fields, gardens, diverse plants and diverse cultural landscapes.
At 10:23, near Bazhou North Station, the train passed through a section of the “soundproof tunnel” smoothly and the passengers didn’t even notice it. The Beijing-Xiong Interurban Railway built a completely enclosed sound barrier on the 847-meter-long section of the Guba Bridge that crosses the Beiluodian village. It is the world’s first fully enclosed sound barrier installation for a high-speed railway bridge with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, which fundamentally resolves the noise of train operation. Impact on residential areas concentrated along the line.
At approximately 11:00, the first train arrived at platform 1 of the Beijing West Railway Station, and the journey took less than 50 minutes.
At 10:38, the Beijing West Railway Station also sent the first Fuxing train bound for Xiong’an Station, and the entire journey took 50 minutes. According to Song Tingting, director of the Beijing West Railway Station Office, the first train has a capacity of 576 people and all tickets have been sold out. Beijing West Railway Station has established a special Beijing-Xiong Intercity Passenger area in Waiting Room 10 to make it easier for passengers to enter the station quickly.
After the new section of the Beijing-Xiong Intercity Railway from Daxing Airport to Xiong’an was opened for operation, the department of railways arranged 16 pairs of moving trains with a maximum operating speed of 300 kilometers per hour. When the national rail operation chart is adjusted on January 20, 2021, the trains will be organized according to the daily and peak lines, and up to 17 pairs of moving trains will be operated daily.
Since the opening of the Beijing-Xiong Intercity Beijing section in September 2019, it has served more than 220,000 passenger trips. With the completion of the entire line, Jingxiong Intercity will serve more passengers. (Reporter Hongyang Sun)
