Tickets for the Shanghai-Hangzhou High Speed Railway.

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. The line is 202 km (126 mi) in length and designed for commercial train service at 350 km/h (217 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.^[2] 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 (259 mph) setting a Chinese train speed record.^[2]

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).^[3]

Etymology

"Hu" (沪) stands for "Shanghai" and "Hang"(杭) stands for Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang Province.

Railway stations

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 Passenger Railway and the Hangzhou–Nanjing Passenger Railway.^[5]
