Ten new railways with an aggregate operating mileage of 2,500 km will be put into service by the end of this year to enhance the capability of China’s high-speed rails, sources from the China Railway said. About 553 new high-speed train services will be introduced simultaneously, which is expected to elevate China’s high-speed rail transport capacity by 9 percent, according to the sources.
