AMAZING : Chinese Concept – The train that never stops at a station

edited July 2012 in Miscellaneous
A brilliant new Chinese train innovation – get on & off the bullet
train without the train stopping.
No time is wasted. The bullet train is moving all the time. If there
are 30 stations between Beijing and Guangzhou, just stopping and
accelerating again at each station will waste both energy and time.

A mere 5 min stop per station (elderly passengers cannot be hurried)
will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30 stations or 2.5 hours of
train journey time!

How it works:

1. For those who are boarding the train : The passengers at a station
embarks onto to a connector cabin way before the train even arrives at
the station. When the train arrives, it will not stop at all. It just
slows down to pick up the connector cabin which will move with the
train on the roof of the train.
