According to the relevant national regulations, the regional railway does not have the conditions to connect the trunk railway, such as connecting with the second line of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, which will greatly affect its normal operation, so the Xuzaolin intercity high-speed railway cannot be connected with the second line of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway at the Lanling station of the high-speed railway. According to the current planning and design plan, the Xuzao Lincheng intercity high-speed railway will merge at The Lanling Station of the Putie Railway, connect to the Linyi North Station in parallel to the north, and realize the interconnection with the Lunan High-speed Railway and the Second Line of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway at the Linyi North Railway Station.
xxx and other representatives:
Your "Proposal on Actively Striving to Build the Xulin High-Speed Railway and Connecting with Lanling Station on the Second Line of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway" has been received, and the reply is as follows:
Xuzaolin intercity high-speed railway west of the Beijing-Shanghai line, Longhai line, east of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail line, along the dense population, rich in property resources, after completion and operation, can further improve the city's railway network structure, improve the city's railway hub center city status, to promote the Lunan Economic Circle, Huaihai Economic Zone and other regional integration development is of great significance.

On March 15, 2021, the State Council issued the Notice on Further Improving the Opinions on Railway Planning and Construction, which once again made clear requirements for railway function positioning and construction standards. Xuzaolin intercity high-speed rail belongs to the branch railway, according to the relevant provisions of the state, the regional railway does not have the conditions to connect the trunk line railway, such as connecting with the second line of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway will greatly affect its normal operation, so the Xuzaolin intercity high-speed railway can not be connected with the second line of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway at the Lanling station of the high-speed railway. According to the current planning and design plan, the Xuzao Lincheng intercity high-speed railway will merge at The Lanling Station of the Putie Railway, connect to the Linyi North Station in parallel to the north, and realize the interconnection with the Lunan High-speed Railway and the Second Line of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway at the Linyi North Railway Station.
