China now launches world long bullet train service


China launched the world's longest high-speed rail route on Wednesday, the latest milestone in the country's rapid and - sometimes troubled - super fast rail network.
 
The opening of the new 2,298-kilometre (1,425-mile) line between Beijing and Guangzhou means passengers will be whisked from the capital to the southern commercial hub in just eight hours, compared with the 22 hours previously required.
 
Trains will travel at an average speed of 300 kilometres per hour over the line, which includes 35 stops in major cities such as Zhengzhou, Wuhan on the Yangtze River and Changsha.
