What are the eight vertical and eight horizontal railway networks in China?
The "Eight Crossroads" are Suiman Passage, Jinglan Passage, Yin Qing Passage, Luqiao Passage, Jiang Yan Passage, Shanghai-Kunming Passage, Xiamen-Chongqing Passage and Guang Kun Passage.
Put forward the background:
At the press conference of "Medium and Long-term Railway Network Planning" held by the National Development and Reform Commission on the 20th, it was learned that in 20 16-2025, China will build a high-speed railway network with "eight vertical and eight horizontal" main passages as the skeleton, regional connecting lines connected and intercity railways supplemented.
Fei Rong Zhi, director of the Basic Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the meeting that the "eight verticals and eight horizontals" high-speed railway network is a high-speed railway with increased passenger flow support, moderate standards and development needs on the basis of the original planning of "four verticals and four horizontals".
Extended data:
The main scheme of the plan
The planning scheme includes three parts:
(1) high-speed railway network. On the basis of the original "four verticals and four horizontals" plan, new high-speed railways with passenger flow support, appropriate standards and development needs will be added, and at the same time, existing railways will be fully utilized to form a high-speed railway network with "eight verticals and eight horizontals" as the skeleton, regional connecting lines connected and intercity railways supplemented.
(2) General-speed railway network. Focus on expanding the coverage of the road network in the central and western regions, improve the layout of the road network in the east, improve the quality of the existing road network, and promote the interconnection of surrounding areas.
③ Comprehensive transportation hub. Hub is an important node of railway network. In order to give full play to the overall efficiency of the railway network and the capacity of supporting points and lines, this planning revision further optimizes the layout of railway passenger and freight hubs according to the principle of "passengers within goods", forms a modern comprehensive transportation hub with complete systems and convenient integration of stations and cities, and realizes "zero distance" for passengers to transfer, "seamless connection of logistics" and "integration of transportation services".
