For what it's worth, this has been in the works for a long time, the news is that a prototype finally rolled out of the factory.
China is hell-bent on making trains that can compete with air travel. I don't think they will give up until it's actually done, there is a huge need for an alternative to air travel in China for many, many reasons.
- guywhocodes 5y agoThis makes it ironic that boarding a train in China has airplane level security
- mijamo 5y agoExcept if it has changed in the last 4 years I disagree, security is nowhere near what they make you go through for flying. It's not even at the level needed to take the Eurostar.
- guywhocodes 5y agoWe clearly did not take the same trains
- goodcanadian 5y agoIt does? I'll admit it has been a few years, but I don't recall any security of note when I visited.
- angio 5y agoYou need to pass your luggage through metal detectors to enter train stations in busy cities. Not comparable with airports where security takes much much longer.
- guywhocodes 5y agoYou never taken a regional train? I've never gone through in less than 30min. However I have boarded a domestic flight in 30min
