Speedy trains to link capital, Xiongan

Planners are seeking public opinions on an intercity railway linking Beijing and Xiongan New Area in neighboring Hebei province - revealing that a new high-speed rail line is being planned between the two cities.

China Railway Design Corp, a subsidiary of network operator China Railway Corp, announced last week it would collect public comments until Thursday about the Gu'an East Railway Station and Bazhou North Railway Station, which are in Langfang, Hebei, and along the new line, according to the Langfang government's website.

The announcement said the intercity line will start from Liying Railway Station in Beijing's Daxing district, pass through Beijing's new airport and Langfang, and terminate at Xiongan Railway Station in Xiongxian county.
