The total design mileage has been reduced to 86.82 kilometers, and the Zhaoqing archway Foshan Zumiao Station has been cancelled.

News eye

Guangfozhao Light Rail is planned to set up 1 1 station, including 6 stations in Zhaoqing and 5 stations in Foshan.

◇ The light rail stops at the East Gate of Xinghu, and the archway station is cancelled.

◇ Foshan West Railway Station plans to reserve a passage to Guangzhou.

A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Zhaoqing Municipal Development and Reform Commission that the Guangfozhao Light Rail will be moderately "slimmed down". In addition to the cancellation of Zumiao Station in Foshan section, Paifang Station in Zhaoqing section has also been cancelled, and the total mileage has dropped from the previous 99.97 km to 86.82 km.

plan

It is planned to set up 1 1 station along the way.

According to the schematic diagram of Guangfozhao Light Rail announced by China Railway No.4 Survey and Design Institute on June 30th, Guangfozhao Light Rail starts from Foshan West Station in the east and passes through Shishan Town in the west, then reaches Shishan Industrial Park after passing through Guangzhou-Zhuhai expressway, enters Sanshui territory through Guangzhou-Zhuhai Railway under construction, crosses Sanshui Yundong Sea, crosses Beijiang River and enters Dawang. After the fourth meeting, it turns to Zhaoqing, crosses Suijiang and Sanmao Railway, enters Zhaoqing North Station, and passes through Dinghu and Dachong to Zhaoqing.

It is planned to set up 1 1 station along the line, including: Foshan West Station, Shishan, Shishan Industrial Park, Sanshui, Yundonghai, Dawang, Sihui, Zhaoqing North Station, Dinghu, Dachong and Xinghu East Gate from east to west. Among them, there are 5 stations in Foshan and 6 stations in Zhaoqing. According to the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the news released by the media that there are 10 stations on Guangfozhao Light Rail Line, except for 3 stations in Foshan, all the other 7 stations are located in Zhaoqing, is not accurate, and should be based on the currently released plane schematic diagram and the feasibility study report being compiled.

dispel

Zhaoqing section ends at the East Gate of Xinghu Lake.

According to the current plan, the light rail will stop at the East Gate of Xinghu, and the original archway station will be cancelled. The Municipal Development and Reform Commission explained that according to the original plan, the East Gate of Xinghu should go to the archway.

It was planned to build an underground railway in this area, but it was cancelled because this section was an active lava area and there were too many unforeseeable factors. As for how to connect the two points, the municipal government is considering it.

dock

Many important transportation facilities are connected with light rail.

According to the design of the municipal government, provincial railway construction investment group and China Railway Fourth Survey and Design Institute, the light rail will pass through Zhaoqing's important economic strongholds and connect with other traffic facilities to form a multi-level traffic network.

Dawang is the "first stop" for light rail to enter Zhaoqing. First, it will meet with Erguang Expressway and Zhao Hua Expressway, then "shoulder to shoulder" with Dawang Port, then connect with Guanghe Expressway under construction, cross Zhao Hua Expressway, and meet with nanning-guangzhou railway and Guiguang Railway at Zhaoqing North Station (according to the documents of the Municipal Transportation Bureau, Zhaoqing North Station is planned to be located about four kilometers away from Yong 'an, Dinghu).

measure

The light rail should try to walk on the ground.

According to the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Zhaoqing section is about 56 kilometers long and the preliminary geological exploration was completed in May this year. In view of "Zhaoqing is mountainous, will the construction be more difficult, and what are the countermeasures for the light rail?" Huang Qingqi, head of the Industrial and Basic Industries Section of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said that the Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhaoqing intercity light rail will be mainly laid in the form of ground and elevated, and the ground should be taken as far as possible, but it is "not difficult" to take the elevated or underground track after entering the urban area.

The planned start date was extended to 10 month.

In the initial design, the speed of Guangfozhao Light Rail was 140 to 160 kilometers per hour, and it took 50 minutes to reach Foshan, or even 90 minutes to reach Guangzhou. The provincial development and reform commission thinks that the light rail is not competitive at this speed, so it increases the speed to 200 kilometers per hour. Huang Qingyi said that after the speed increase, the line needs to be "cut straight", and the design of communication signals in the locomotive and the minimum turning radius should be adjusted accordingly, so the design time has been extended and the planned construction time will be postponed from the original end of August to 10.

Due to the anxiety of Zhaoqing citizens about the opening of the light rail, many local netizens expressed impatience after some media reported that the Guangfozhao light rail would be "delayed for one year". Huang Qingqi said that the light rail was originally scheduled to open at the end of 20 12 or 20 13, and the plan remains unchanged.

Focus on Foshan section of Guangfozhao light rail

1, abolish Foshan Zumiao Station

According to the original idea, Guangfozhao Light Rail will connect with Zumiao Station of Guangfo Metro and travel to and from Guangzhou via Guangfo Metro. Now the ancestral temple station in Foshan section is cancelled. Guangdong Railway Investment Group explained that it is because Foshan West Railway Station can be connected with Guangfo Ring Road, and in the future, Foshan West Railway Station will be connected with Guangfo Subway Zumiao Station by rail. "You can enjoy resources to the maximum extent and avoid redundant construction".

Zhaoqing citizens are not familiar with Foshan West Railway Station, the new starting point of Guangfozhao Light Rail. In fact, Foshan West occupies an important strategic position in the transportation planning of Guangdong Province. According to its positioning and functional planning, it will form the hub station of Guangzhou Railway together with Guangzhou, Guangzhou East and New Guangzhou Station.

It is also reported that Foshan West Railway Station mainly serves local passenger flow, and jointly organizes and operates Wuhan-Guangzhou Special Line, Guangzhou-Shenzhen Passenger Dedicated Line, Nanguang, Guiguang and western Guangdong coastal railway trains, and operates some Guangzhou-Shenzhen Passenger Dedicated Lines and Guangzhou-Zhuhai intercity trains. After taking the light rail to Foshan West Station, Zhaoqing citizens can easily transfer to trains in all directions and reach all parts of the province without leaving the station.

As for the connection between Foshan West Railway Station and Guangzhou, it will be undertaken by Guangfo Ring Road. Huang Qingqi revealed that the Guangfo Ring Road will lead from two directions, one is Baiyun Airport in the north and the other is guangzhou east railway station in the south. However, due to the feasibility study of the Guangfo Ring Road, the specific direction is still unknown.

Zhaoqing people are afraid to change trains in Foshan when they go to Guangzhou.

Because after the opening of Guangfozhao light rail, the traffic pattern and travel conditions in Guangfozhao area will be greatly improved, which both the government and the people yearn for. Zhaoqing citizens also expect the light rail to reach the provincial capital in one step, and the light rail stops at Foshan, which makes people somewhat unwilling.

"We are unwilling," Huang Qingqi said with a smile. He said that the Guangfozhao Light Rail is an intercity rail, but it is currently limited to Zhaoqing and Foshan. To this end, Foshan West Railway Station is planning to reserve a passage into Guangzhou city and directly to Guangzhou Railway Station. Both the Guangzhou Municipal Planning Bureau and the National Development and Reform Commission expressed their support, and the Provincial Development and Reform Commission also held a positive opinion. However, due to the "criss-crossing" of rail transit entering Guangzhou, it is really difficult to determine whether there is enough support space. We can only say that we will do our best.
