BEIJING, January 26 (Xinhua) — China's national railway system has implemented an updated train schedule starting at 12:00 a.m. Monday, with a total of 12,130 passenger trains and 23,748 freight trains operating nationwide. The adjustments were made to further improve the freight and passenger transportation capacity and transport efficiency of the national railway system.
As reported by the online news portal chinanews.com.cn, citing a statement from the state-owned China Railway Corporation, the new schedule reflects, in particular, increased efforts to organize international freight transport, manifested in the addition of seven new routes with precise train schedules along the entire route to Europe from such Chinese hub cities as Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Jinan, Changsha, Chongqing, and Shijiazhuang.
We are talking about China-Europe rail freight transport routes, within the framework of which transport services are provided in accordance with fixed train routes, routes and schedules with clearly defined departure points, border crossings and arrival times at all stations, which have been carefully developed and agreed upon by the transport authorities of the countries located along these routes.
Previously, according to official Chinese data, there were 17 such railway routes in the country, covering nine Chinese cities and six European countries, with over 1,000 trains traveling annually. The new train schedule brings the number of such routes to 24, further guaranteeing the stable and uninterrupted operation of international production and supply chains.
