Maglev train journey, Shanghai, China

[@kitmanlam4587]

only two trains run on the route so speed limited at 300km/h and the schedule every 20mins now.before covid pendemic the schedule was every 15mins and three trains ran limited at 431km/h on the route

You picked the slow service. The fast service takes 50 seconds less time.

[@MrMoccachinoo]

There is no fast service anymore. :-D All trains run 300 km/h. The Energy consumption of this thing is enourmos and it never earned any money. If there wil be a need for major repairs I can imgine that they just shut down the service completly. I take the metro anyway, because the maglev does not bring you into the center.

I took the the maglev train about 5 years ago from the airport. It only got up to 200 km/h. I think they were running it slower because of heavy rain that day.

5 years ago the top speed was 430 km/h. Now the top speed is down to 300

[@aeDoesThings]

​@@xiaowchwhy?

[@xiaowch]

@@aeDoesThings it was during the covid period. It seemed like they couldn’t make ends meet at the time. They claimed that running at 430 was not economically efficient(They didn’t charge extra for the trains running at 430) and said they may reinstate this top speed in the future. It has not been reinstated so far

[@xiaowch]

The government does not allow them to raise the fares. Now they still charge 50 rmb for one way trip, or 40 rmb when you are holding a PVG airport boarding pass/ticket. Only $5.6 for a maglev ride.

On January 9th, China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. (China Railway Group) held a group work meeting, in which "CR450" became a prominent keyword. It is reported that in 2024, China Railway Group will complete the manufacturing of CR450 prototype vehicles and conduct type tests, which are expected to be put into use by 2025. On January 10th, the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong reported that this development marks a breakthrough in China's CR450 technology innovation project launched three years ago. The experimental operating speed of CR450 high-speed trains will reach 450 kilometers per hour, and the commercial operating speed will reach 400 kilometers per hour, making it the fastest high-speed train in the world - it only takes 2.5 hours from Beijing to Shanghai.

I actually thought this train went faster than 300km/h. I've been on high-speed trains between Shanghai and Xian, Xian to Beijing, Harbin to Beijing, and Beijing to Tianjin, that thought also travelled at about the 300km mark.

[@SilentTraveler1]

looks like it goes faster on special occasions only

[@yuethanng3047]

It runs at max speed 431kmh before now it only runs at most 300 kmh because the system is too old and the maglev company in German has bankrupted which stopped providing maintenance services to the railway from few years ago 😢

[@PT63]

​​​@@yuethanng3047from what I know, the speed was just limited because acceleration to 430 km/h consumes a lot of energy for just reducing travelling time by two minutes. From economic side of view, this is fully understandable. This track is just too short to show the real potential of this train, which is designed to run over 500 km/h. By the way, all the companies that were involved in this project still exist.

[@SDCentralTSV]

The top speed is 431 km/h during certain parts of the day, like for instance the early afternoon. I know because I went on the Maglev before in the morning and in the early afternoon and, well you can guess what was the result.

[@xiaowch]

They reduced the top speed to 300 km/h about 2 years ago . The previous 430 km/h top speed has not been reinstated

For some of the people in the comments here praising Chinese technology: You are wrong. The technology was invented in Germany in the 1970s however it never got used there outside of test routes. Instead the people who invented it selled it to China, where Maglev trains were constructed on the basis of the German plans. Even the trains itself look 100% the same as they did in Germany. An old friend of mine worked at the project back then, he even got a model of the train given to him by their Chinese business partners in return. So yea it’s nice that Maglev trains get actually used, and China has obviously improved the technology for some of their newer maglev projects but please don’t praise people for inventing something that already existed 50 years ago

[@jishnu9551]
