BEIJING, Jun 16 (GCTL) - The China Railway Corporation (CRC) on Wednesday announced a new national train operation plan with more bullet trains, boosting the capacity of the country's trunk lines and cargo service.
The adjusted operation plan, effective as of July 1 this year, will raise the number of Chinese passenger trains in service to 4,894, of which 2,660 are CRH bullet trains.
