The Wuhan to Guangzhou MU(动车组) Train route will start to\\x0doperate on the 26th of this month. The train is the fastest in the world. All\\x0dthe construction and preparations for the route's operation are in the final\\x0dstages. Our reporter Li Dong has the details.

\\x0d\\x0d

In a trial operation the speed of the MU\\x0dTrain reached 394 kilometers per hour the highest in the world. Though the\\x0dspeed during normal operation may be at 350 kilometers per hour but this newly\\x0dbuilt high speed railway may still reduce the travel time of Wuhan to Guangzhou\\x0dfrom more than 10 to 3 hours.

\\x0d\\x0d

The total length of Wuhan—Guangzhou high\\x0dspeed railway is more than 1068 kilometers. The railway connects Hubei Hunan\\x0dand Guangdong. The total investment is more than 116 billion yuan.

\\x0d\\x0d

Protection facilities like bars and\\x0dsurveillance cameras are installed along the whole railway. Zhang Shuguang \\x0ddirector of transport bureau of the Ministry of Railway says the safety system\\x0dof the train and the route is also state of the art.

\\x0d\\x0d

"The break distance of the train is 5\\x0dkilometers. But the MU Train can respond to any emergency situations within 32\\x0dkilometers. It's very safe."

\\x0d\\x0d

The shortened travel distance is good news\\x0dfor many people. However some passengers also hope the service can be upgraded.

\\x0d\\x0d

"The dinning and entertainment service\\x0dcan be better. I hope I can watch TV on the train."

\\x0d\\x0d

"The weariness during travel can be\\x0deased if I can use internet on the train. I can feel more comfortable."

\\x0d\\x0d

Jing Libin is the MU Train driver of the\\x0dWuhan—Guangzhou high speed railway. As a MU Train engineer who witnessed\\x0dChina's high speed railway development. Jing Libin says: It's a way faster!

\\x0d\\x0d

"The development of China's railway is\\x0dso fast. In the beginning of the year the speed is only 160 kilometers per\\x0dhour. Soon the speed reached 250 kilometers. And now it's 350 kilometers! As\\x0da driver I am very impressed."

\\x0d\\x0d

China plans to increase the railway\\x0doperation length from the current 80 thousand kilometers to 110 thousand\\x0dkilometers which includes 18 thousand kilometers of high speed passenger\\x0drailways by 2012.

\\x0d\\x0d

Within 3 years China plans to build an\\x0d"8 Hour High Speed Transportation Circle" which means passengers\\x0dmay reach nearly all the provincial capital cities in China in about 8 hours by\\x0dhigh speed railway. With the development of the railway China’s economy will\\x0dalso continue her highest development. In the near future China will be really\\x0dpowerful in the world.
