The opening of Meishan railway is convenient for commuting between the two places

According to China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Group Co., Ltd., on October 11, Meizhou Shantou railway will be officially put into operation. Meizhou, the world's passenger capital, will end the history of no high-speed railway. There will be 44 multiple unit trains to and from Meizhou to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shantou, Zhuhai, Yichang, Xiamen and other places every day. The fastest time for Meizhou to Guangzhou and Shenzhen is only 3 hours and 25 minutes and 2 hours and 52 minutes respectively. (Shenzhen evening news, October 11)

Meishan railway, Meizhou Chaoshan station is an important part of Guangzhou Meizhou Shantou express railway channel and the first built section, which takes into account the intercity passenger flow and medium and long-distance passenger flow. The main line is 122.4 km long and the design speed is 250 km / h. The line starts from Meizhou west station in Meizhou City in the north, passes through Meizhou, Jieyang and Chaozhou, and connects with Xiamen Shenzhen railway at Chaoshan station. Seven stations are set up along the line, including Meizhou west station, Yujiang north station, Jianqiao station, Fengshun east station, Jieyang station, Jieyang airport station and Chaoshan station. Since the construction of the

Meishan railway started in 2016, it has attracted public attention. After the opening of Meizhou Shantou railway, the running time of the high-speed train from Meizhou to Guangzhou is only more than 3 hours, which is about 3 hours faster than that of the ordinary train; the running time of the high-speed train from Meizhou to Shenzhen is only more than 2 hours, which is about 3 hours faster than that of the ordinary train. Thus, the eastern and northeastern regions of Guangdong are integrated into the "three hour economic life circle" of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the economic development is about to enter the era of "speed up and gear change". The opening and operation of the

Meishan high speed railway will effectively optimize the structure of the railway network in the northeast of Guangdong Province, greatly solve the problem of insufficient transportation capacity in the area, and meet the needs of the social and economic development and urbanization development in Meizhou, Jieyang and Chaoshan areas. From the perspective of the relationship between the northeast of Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta, Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Bay area, it is beneficial to enhance the radiation driving effect between the polar core and the hinterland by helping the high-speed rail linkage effect. The reduction of "hard cost" of inter regional commuting brought by the opening of Meishan high-speed railway is also beneficial for the northeast of Guangdong Province to learn from the experience of "soft environment" construction in the Pearl River Delta, and constantly improve its business environment through the docking of systems and rules, so as to better and faster integrate into the Pearl River Delta, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
