China shows off its new train link that halves travelling time between Beijing and Guangzhou - the world's longest
high speed railway line.

​

The first bullet train left Beijing on Wednesday morning. Trains will initially travel at 300km/h (187mph), more than halving travel time.

A Chinese official has described the route - parts of which were already in operation - as "one of the most technically advanced in the world".


The 2,298km route will have 35 stops.

Travelling at an average speed of 300 kilometres per hour, the new line will slash the time it takes to travel by
rail from Beijing to the southern commercial hub of Guangzhou from the current 22 hours to just eight. Photo: Reuters

​

They include such major cities as Wuhan and Changsha. The previously 22-hour journey will now take less than 10 hours.


The decision was taken to start the passenger service on 26 December to commemorate the birth of former Chinese leader Mao Zedong, state media said. China is currently expanding its high-speed rail network across the vast country.But the ambitious project has not been free from controversy.

Toilets on the train are of stainless steel squat variety, with slightly more bathroom space than would usually be
found on an airliner, while uniformed women were on hand to serve drinks and snacks during the trip. Photo: AFP



Forty people died last summer in a crash on a rapid train line in eastern Zhejiang province and the entire high-speed scheme has been dogged with reports of corruption.

Mkuu Wachina ni binadamu mahili sana, wanajuwa wanacho taka kuendeleza Taifa lao, actually tekinilojia ya kufanikisha kasi ya train hiyo ilibuniwa Ujerumani miaka ya nyuma - sina hakika kama Wajerumani waliwekea maanani sana, walijaribu kuitumia lakini sijuhi kama waliendelea nayo - lakini Wachina wameiboresha zaidi na kuifanyia kazi!

Wenzetu Kenya wako beneti sana na Wachina, hata kama hawatawekea train za kasi kubwa, lakini nina uhakika Wachina Wataiendeleza sana Kenya kimihundo mbinu na kitekinolojia - mawaziri wa Kenya wako makini sana hawana mchezo inapokuja katika kuendeleza Taifa lao, ni mara chache kuona wana angahika na wa Merikani - Sasa hivi wanagalia FAR EAST.

The problem is that Chinese kids learn calculus while US kids learn Kardashianism. Won't be long before they're the lone superpower in the world.

The nxt thing from China, Brothers in JF, is surprisingly unbelievable. I read this morning in CCTV as they were broadcasting the super trains, kwamba kuna wanafunzi wanatengeneza gari ambalo lita - run 400Km kwa kila Lita moja ya mafuta! This guys are really using their heads and are clear on what the World demands are at the moment. U and I know mafuta kwa sasa ni issue na hata kama hiyo gari itakuwa expensive trust me, it will be a BIG HIT!

Wamarekani wezi tu.

Na hawana mpango wa kuona wenzao wanaendelea hasa Afrika. Wanafanya kila juhudi kuhakikisha kwamba hatuendelei.Si unaona walivyotuletea Symbion ili itunyonye mabilioni kila siku kama gharama za capacity charges ili tusiendelee? Wanatuhujumu sana kwenye sekta ya nishati maana wanajua fika kuwa nishati ya uhakika ndo chanzo cha maendeleo. Jamaa hawafai kabisa, they are toooo wicked.
