Beijing to London in Two Days by High-Speed Rail

China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, according to Wang Mengshu, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a senior consultant on China's domestic high-speed rail project.

Wang noted that Iran, Pakistan and India are in negotiations with China to build the high-speed networks, and that most of the countries already at the negotiating table are in southeast and central Asia. The talks involve a trade of resources for technology. Many of the countries are under-developed but mineral rich. Myanmar, for example, has agreed to offer rich lithium reserves in exchange for financial backing on the project.

Three huge projects are under consideration. One projet would eventually connect Beijing and London. Trains would head north through Russia, to Germany and then link up with the European railway system. Using the Channel Tunnel, passengers could board a train in London and step off in Beijing, 8160 km away as the crow flies, in just two days. They could then go on to Singapore, nearly 9,800 km away, within three days. "We are aiming for the trains to run almost as fast as airplanes," Wang said.

Another project would connect Kunming in southern China, with Singapore via Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. And a third could start in Urumqi in northern China and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly end in India. "The best case scenario is that the three networks will be completed in a decade," Wang said.

Last December 26, the Chinese Railway inaugurated regular train service on the high-speed rail line linking Wuhan in central China to the southern coast city of Guangzhou. The trains cover the 1,000 km distance in took under three hours, down from 10 on the old tracks, with an average speed of 341 km/h. During the trial run on Dec. 9, the train reached a maximum speed of 394 km, making it the fastest in the world.

China is forging ahead with plans to build 13,000 km of high-speed tracks by 2012, of which 8,000 km will run at an average 350 km/hour. By 2020, plans are to have 16,000 km of a network linking 70% of China's cities.
