Ministry of Railways: All trains will implement real-name ticket purchase from June 1.

The core prompts that during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the total scale of new railway lines put into production will be controlled at 30,000 kilometers, and the high-speed rail-based rapid railway network will be built at three speed grades to promote telephone booking, Internet ticket sales, e-ticketing and banking. Card purchases... On the 12th, when Minister of Railways Sheng Guangzu accepted an exclusive interview with the newspaper, people's satisfaction was the yardstick for railway development .

This year is the beginning of the 12th Five-Year Plan. How to develop the Chinese railways and how to test the results have attracted great attention both at home and abroad. On the afternoon of April 12, Minister of Railways Sheng Guangzu accepted an exclusive interview with this newspaper.

At the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, the mileage of national railway operations will increase to 120,000 kilometers, including about 45,000 kilometers of fast railways.

Reporter: During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, what specific goals are there for the development of China's railway construction?

Sheng Guangzu: The development goal of the 12th Five-Year Plan of the railway is that the total scale of the new railway line will be controlled at 30,000 kilometers, and the national railway operation mileage will increase from the current 91,000 kilometers to 120,000 kilometers by the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”.

Among them, about 45,000 km of express railways and about 50,000 km of railways in the western region, and the double-line rate and the electrification rate have reached 50% and 60% respectively. According to this scale, the infrastructure investment will be 2.8 trillion yuan during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period.

Compared with the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, the new line of railway production went up by 87.5%, and the construction investment increased by 41.4%. We believe that this is a relatively rapid development plan that embodies the continuity of railway construction and is compatible with China's national economic and social development levels.

Recently, when the party committee of the Ministry of Railways conducted an in-depth study of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", in accordance with the requirements of the scientific concept of development, it carried out a comprehensive reflection on major issues such as railway construction, operation, and reform. The Party Party Group believes that the railway and the national economy are closely linked and closely linked with the vital interests of the people. Railway work should meet the needs of economic and social development and the people's satisfaction as the criteria for judging and actively promote scientific development, harmonious development and sustainable development of railways. Scientific development means that railway construction, operation, and management must be adapted to economic and social development. Harmonious development means that railway work should satisfy the people, and sustainable development is to continuously strengthen the development of the railway itself.

“Insuring on construction, on necessity, and supporting facilities”; railway construction should be scaled forward ahead of time, but not excessively advanced.

Reporter: The construction and investment of the “12th Five-Year Plan” new railway line has increased significantly compared with the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, which means that the railway construction has not slowed down.

Sheng Guangzu: During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, it is still a period of accelerated progress in railway construction. We will conscientiously implement the requirements of the Central Committee on maintaining the good momentum of railway construction, and in accordance with the principle of adapting to the needs of economic and social development and the satisfaction of the people, grasping the needs and possibilities, taking into account social and economic benefits, and scientifically arranging railway construction during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period.

We will rationally arrange the construction scale. The scale of railway construction should be moderately advanced, but not excessively advanced. In the future, in the specific project arrangements, it is necessary to “guarantee the construction, the necessity, and the heavy support”.

Under construction, it is necessary to ensure that projects that have been started must, in particular, fully arrange the closing and numbering projects. The above must be based on the needs of economic and social development. The projects that are urgently needed must first be put on; To support the project, it is necessary to support projects that require the formation of road network capabilities, and focus on the construction of ancillary projects such as the “cage neck” section of channel capacity and a few “decapitated roads”.

We must also scientifically determine the construction standards. China has a vast territory and there are certain differences in the level of economic and social development across the country. Therefore, railway construction standards cannot be neat and uniform. The standards for railway construction must be matched with the needs of economic and social development and the level of economic and social development in the region where it is located, and fully take into account the various levels of passenger and freight transport needs of the people and their affordability for fares.

After deep research, the Party's group determined that the high-speed rail-based rapid railway network will be built at three speed grades: the "four vertical and four horizontal" main channel high-speed railway with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour; the high-speed railway extension line and connecting line. Intercity railroads are built at speeds of 200-250 kilometers per hour; passenger and cargo railways and most railways in the Midwest are constructed at speeds of 200 kilometers per hour or less.

Three speed grades are mixed to run, a variety of fares and operating modes to meet the needs of different groups

Reporter: Some travelers have reported that after the opening of the high-speed rail, a batch of county-level cities were dumped, and it was not convenient to ride. It was also reported that a group of low-income people could not afford a ticket. What do you think about this reflection?

Sheng Guangzu: At present, the broad masses of the people have many expectations for railway transportation, requiring railways to operate different grades of trains, set reasonable stations, and give passengers a variety of fare choices. We must earnestly listen to these opinions and aim at meeting the needs of economic and social development and the people's travel needs as much as possible. We must formulate construction plans, organize trains, provide convenient conditions for passengers, and introduce appropriate fares so that the general public can enjoy railway development. Bring benefits.

When the national railway operation plan is adjusted on July 1st this year, we will implement a hybrid operation mode and rationally arrange passenger car deployment plans at different levels and at different speeds according to the principle of reasonable structure and speed matching.

Specifically, it is arranged according to three modes: First, on the high-speed railway with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, both EMU trains with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour and 200-250 kilometers per hour are operated. It will not only open direct trains, but also have a section of parking, add more ride points, provide two kinds of fare choices, and fully take into account the needs of the broad masses of people along the high-speed rail.

The second is to run 200-250 km/h EMU trains and 120-160 km/h so-called ordinary buses at the same time on 200-250 km/h lines, and implement EMUs and ordinary passenger bus fares.

The third is to open regular passenger cars and cargo trains on the 200km/h line and not only meet the needs of the people in the mountainous areas and the central and western regions, but also take care of freight transportation and improve freight capacity.

It should be noted that a train with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour on a line with a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour has greater safety and redundancy, and at the same time, it also makes the fare more in line with market rules.

The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail will operate two speed grade trains at speeds of 300 and 250 kilometers per hour. Two types of fare reporters will be implemented : This new mode of transport organization with mixed operations and passenger and cargo will be a major change in the operation and management of China's railways. Can it be specific? Tell us about this situation?

Sheng Guangzu: The high-speed, rapid, general-speed three different speed grades and three mixed-mode trains that we design will form a new period of China's railway rapid passenger transport network and its supporting transport organization model.

For example, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail, which will be operational at the end of June this year, will accommodate two different types of trains at speeds of 300 and 250 km/h in order to meet the different needs of passengers. There are three modes: direct access from Shanghai, direct access between provincial cities, and staggered parking along the station.

At the same time, after the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail was put into operation, the existing Beijing-Shanghai line still retained 135 pairs of general-purpose passenger cars, and 58 pairs of general-purpose passenger cars were still reserved in the highest-density areas.

By the end of June, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail will be the first to implement online ticket sales. By the end of this year, the national railway will fully push for Internet ticket sales.

Reporter: During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, what new measures will be taken by the railway departments to facilitate the people and benefit the people?

Sheng Guangzu: As a service industry, the railway is constantly improving passenger and cargo transportation services, improving service levels, and satisfying the common people. This is our eternal pursuit. Next, on the basis of extensively listening to the views and suggestions of the masses of the people, we must create conditions, improve services, and systematically launch a series of supporting measures to facilitate the people and the people.

In the aspect of passenger transport, railway passenger transport products with high-speed, rapid and universal speeds, and reasonable adaptations to the needs of passengers at different levels have been formed. This year, we will actively promote telephone bookings, Internet ticket sales, e-ticketing, bank card purchases, and automatic ticket inspections to maximize passenger convenience.

From June 1 this year, all EMU trains in the country will implement a real-name system for ticket purchase. At the end of June, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail took the lead in implementing online ticketing. With the gradual completion of the railway information service system, the national railway will fully promote Internet ticket sales at the end of this year. At the same time, it adapts to the diversification and personalization requirements of passengers and expands the business and travel services of the station vehicles.

Reporter: Then, what new measures will be introduced in freight transportation?

Sheng Guangzu: We insist on taking passengers and cargoes into consideration, accelerating the transformation of passenger and cargo marketing from traditional methods to e-commerce, and realizing remote and direct services between railways and customers. For freight transportation, relying on the advantages of railway transportation, extend the railway service chain. To meet the requirements of the development of modern logistics industry, through the railway freight customer service system, online acceptance of goods transport, and access, handling, warehousing, packaging, processing, distribution and other services, the implementation of "one-stop" for handling, "one-stop" service To achieve the expansion of services from "station to station" to "door to door" to better meet the needs of society.
