World record on high-speed rail determined

World record on high-speed rail determined

13 January 2011 09:28 (UTC +04:00)

Baku - APA-Economics. As China rolls out its prized 350-plus/kmph bullet trains for the public, many travellers have complained that the expensive service has burnt a hole in their pocket, Economic Times reported.

China has the world’s longest high-speed rail network with over 8,350 km., according to the railways ministry. But the opening of more fast train services has led to fewer regular trains being available, leading to the displeasure of the budget-conscious passengers, China Daily reported.

The railways ministry has launched luxury and fast train services on several routes to provide diversified services to the travellers.

A luxury sleeper service such as the one between Shanghai and Chengdu cities could costs up to 2,330 yuan ($352), which many people cannot afford, according to the daily.
