High speed link between Beijing and Tianjin is on track

April 20, 2008

The new high speed train will be in service in time for the Olympics in August. The train is capable of traveling 350 KPH (217 MPH) and will cut the time it takes to travel today by train nearly in half. This is just one of the first legs that will be opening soon. The entire project will take around 5 years to complete. Planning for the $36 B project started nearly a decade ago and is an overdue and welcome upgrade.
