Ning'an high-speed railway opened in December 2015, a total length of 257 kilometers with 10 stations, from Nanjing, through Ma'anshan, Wuhu, Tongling, Chizhou, and finally to Anqing, and the Hefu high-speed railway opened in June 2015 in Tongling interchange, but not interchanged, because the Hefu high-speed railway set up Tongling North Station, and the Ning'an high-speed railway introduced Tongling Station, Tongling Station and Tongling North Station there are more than 20 kilometers, if the transit, for this small city without subway, it is not convenient.
This has caused passengers in Anqing, Chizhou, Nanjing, and Ma'anshan to be unable to go south from the Hefu high-speed railway, and they have been criticized. In particular, the beauty of Huangshan Mountain is famous all over the world, and tourists from all over the country go to Huangshan every year, but the residents of Nanjing, Wuhu, Tongling, Chizhou, Anqing and other places are only three or four hundred kilometers away from Huangshan, but they consume more time.
Why does Ning'an intersect with the Hefu high-speed railway, and at present there is only the northwest liaison line, and there is no contact line in other directions? First of all, Ma'anshan, Nanjing can take the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway to the north, there is no need to build a northeast liaison line. Secondly, the Hefu high-speed railway is designed to have a speed of 300km/h, using a disposable poured and formed ballastless track slab, only the station can be demolished ballast railway, however, Tongling North Station is on the north side of the Ning'an high-speed railway, there is no station near the south side, and there is no reserved interface for the Hefu high-speed railway at that time, so the contact line cannot be accessed. It is impossible for a national trunk line, such as the Hefu high-speed railway, to stop operation and then rebuild the track slab, which can only maintain the status quo.
Some netizens said that the design plan was not complete at that time. The Ning'an high-speed railway should introduce Tongling North Railway Station and simultaneously expand the Ning'an Field, Hefu Field and Ning'an Field, so as to solve the problem of running cross-line vehicles.
Some netizens also said that at that time, the status of Ning'an was an intercity railway, except for Ma'anshan, other cities used the existing stations in the city center, so as to reflect the convenience of intercity railways, and the Shanghai-Nanjing intercity was a very good model. As for the interchange issue with the Hefu high-speed railway, in the future, the Anhui-Gansu Railway will build a new passenger line to solve the problem of Nanjing and Ma'anshan going south, and this railway has been included in the 14th Five-Year Plan and will soon start construction.
Friends, do you think the Ning'an Intercity Railway is better to introduce Tongling North Station, or is Tongling Station suitable? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
