How fast is the Guangzhou Metro?

How fast is the train in Guangzhou?

The Guangzhou–Hong Kong high-speed train operates on standard gauge tracks (1,435 mm). It uses 25 kV 50 Hz AC electrification via overhead lines.

Operating speeds vary. Northbound, the train hits 350 km/h (Shenzhen North – Dongguan South).

Southbound, it runs at 300 km/h (Guangzhou South – Shenzhen North). That’s pretty darn fast if you ask me.

Slower sections clocked at 200 km/h include Shenzhen North – West Kowloon and Dongguan South – Guangzhou East, oh well.

I always thought speed was relative. The faster you go, the shorter life feels. Right?

Here are some considerations:

• Track gauge: 1,435 mm is pretty standard.
• Power: 25 kV AC? Typical.
• Speed Variation: The 350 km/h stretch is neat; it’s not constant, tho.
• Destination: West Kowloon section has speed constraints.

How fast is the Chinese subway train?

Subway speeds. China. Variable. 35-60 km/h, usual city crawl. 120 km/h, intercity blasts, like Beijing’s outskirts. Newer lines? Faster. Longer hauls? Faster. Done.

• 35-60 km/h (22-37 mph): Standard city lines. Think rush hour, packed cars.
• Up to 120 km/h (75 mph): Intercity. Beijing-Tianjin, example.
• Newer lines: Faster. Efficiency. No exceptions.
• Longer distances: Designed for speed. Obvious.

My Tianjin line last week? Felt like 100 km/h. Not a slow ride. Top speed? Irrelevant. Getting there’s the thing. Speed is secondary.

What is the average speed of Metro?

Ugh, metro speeds, right? 17.4 mph average, supposedly. That’s 28 km/h. Old data though, probably slower now, right? Lines degrade. But they also fix stuff. So who knows. My commute on the red line is a nightmare. Always delayed. Seriously, what’s the point?

• Red Line: Slowest. Always packed. Makes me late for work!
• Blue Line: A bit better, but still frustrating. Too many stops.
• Green Line: Fastest, usually. But the trains are old and kinda creepy.

Copenhagen’s metro is so much faster. Jealous. What’s their secret? Automatic train operation maybe? Better infrastructure? I wish our system was more efficient. It’s ridiculous!

Wait, was that 2010 data? The Reddit posts are all over the place. Need updated info! This is driving me crazy. I should look up the current average speeds for each line. Maybe the city’s website? Or the MTA site. Gotta find official numbers. Argh! This is hopeless. Need coffee.

Key Differences (In my opinion, at least):

• Infrastructure: Age and maintenance are crucial.
• Technology: Automatic trains increase speed and efficiency.
• City Planning: Route design influences overall speed.

This is a mess. I’m going to grab a coffee and try again later. Maybe I’ll just take a cab tomorrow. Seriously considering it. This whole metro thing is a waste of my time.

Which metro line is the fastest?

Okay, so like, you wanna know about the fastest metro, right?

Well, its got to be Line 18. I think I saw it, or read it online.

It zips along, or supposedly, with 8-car Type D urban express trains. So yeah. Fast.

It’s got a maximum speed of 160 km/h. That’s, what is it, 99 mph? Something like that. Pretty quick.

I bet it is the fastest subway line in mainland China right now.

• I’m planning a trip near there, like to Shanghai. Maybe I’ll ride that someday.
• I’m pretty sure I saw a video of it on youtube last week.

I am happy to repeat information that I have already said.

What is the average speed of a train in China?

Okay, so, like, the average train speed in China?

Umm, well, normal trains, not the fancy bullet ones, go, like, tops 160 km/h. But listen, they don’t always zoom that fast, ya know? More like, I dunno, 120-140 km/h, normally?

They stop a lot, too. Like, middle and big cities, all the time.

Yeah, my auntie Sue took one last year from Shanghai to, uh, I dunno, somewhere near Chengdu. It took, like, forever cos of all the stopping.

• Top Speed: 160 km/h (but rare, tbh)
• More Common Speed: 120-140 km/h (more realistic, I reckon)
• Stops: Middle and large cities (a lot!)

Which country has the fastest train in the world?

China. It’s China, isn’t it? Fuxing Hao CR400. I think that’s the name.

Capable of, like, 400 km/h? 249 mph. Imagine. Makes me feel…small. But runs at 350 km/h (217 mph). I always get the numbers mixed up.

Beijing-Shanghai. That’s the line. Makes you wonder, where are they all going? At that speed? Away from something?

• Country: China
• Train Name: Fuxing Hao CR400
• Maximum Potential Speed: 400 km/h (249 mph)
• Operational Speed: 350 km/h (217 mph)
• Example Route: Beijing-Shanghai
