Shijiazhuang–Wuhan high-speed railway

The Shijiazhuang–Wuhan high-speed railway, or Shiwu passenger railway (simplified Chinese: 石武客运专线; traditional Chinese: 石武客運專線; pinyin: Shíwǔ Kèyùn Zhuān Xiàn), is an 840 km (520 mi) high-speed rail line operated by China Railway High-speed between Shijiazhuang and Wuhan, the provincial capitals of Hebei and Hubei, respectively.

[1] Early on, it was reported that the Zhengzhou-Wuhan section was to enter service on 1 July 2012;[2] however, later on the date was moved back to the end of September 2012.

[4] The line was put into service on 28 September 2012 between Zhengzhou and Wuhan,[5] a distance of 536 km (333 mi).

As of its opening day, published schedules show a number of G-series trains running from the new Zhengzhou East railway station via Wuhan to Guangzhou.

This is convenient for trains to transfer to the Shanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu high-speed railway, e.g. for passengers traveling toward Yichang, Chongqing or Chengdu.
