Shanghai–Hangzhou high-speed railway

Simplified Chinese

沪杭客运专线 or 沪杭高速铁路

Traditional Chinese

滬杭客運專線 or 滬杭高速鐵路

Transcriptions
Standard Mandarin
Hanyu Pinyin	Hùháng Kèyùn Zhuānxiàn or Hùháng Gāosù Tiělù

Romanization	ghu^上ghaon^平 khah^入yiuin^去 tsoe^平sie^去 or ghu^上ghaon^平 kau^平soh^入 thih^入lu^去

The Shanghai–Hangzhou high-speed railway (Chinese: 沪杭客运专线 or 沪杭高速铁路), also known as the Huhang high-speed railway or Huhang passenger railway is a high-speed rail line in China between Shanghai and Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The line is 202 km (126 mi) in length and designed for commercial train service at 350 km/h (215 mph). It was built in 20 months and opened on October 26, 2010. The line shortened travel time between the two cities from 78 to 45 minutes.^[1] The line is also used by trains departing Shanghai's terminals for Nanchang, Changsha, Guiyang, and Kunming making it part of the Shanghai–Kunming High-Speed Railway. It has made the proposed Shanghai–Hangzhou Maglev Line unlikely.

Speed records

In September 2010, a test train on the Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed line achieved a speed of 416.6 km/h (258.9 mph) setting a Chinese train speed record.^[1]

In October 2010, Chinese officials stated that a bullet train on the Huhang high-speed railway had set a new world record for train speed on a scheduled trip at 262 mph (422 km/h).^[4]

Etymology

"Hù" (沪) is the official abbreviation for Shanghai and "Háng" (杭) stands for Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang Province.

Station list

There are nine railway stations on the line:

On July 1, 2013, the new Hangzhou East station was opened which serves the Shanghai–Hangzhou Passenger Railway, as well as the Hangzhou–Ningbo high-speed railway, the Nanjing–Hangzhou Passenger Railway,^[6] and the Hangzhou–Changsha high-speed railway.
