Names

The Chinese name of the railway corridor is the Hangyong or Hang–Yong section or passenger-dedicated railway. This name reflects the Chinese abbreviations 杭 (Háng) for Hangzhou and 甬 (Yǒng) for Ningbo, the later from the name of its major river.

History

The railway was initially scheduled to open in June 2012.[1] This was later postponed to the end of 2012 and, in October 2012, the target date was postponed once again. Test operations began at the start of 2013 and commercial operations began on 30 June 2013.[2] It now forms the northern end of the Hangzhou–Fuzhou–Shenzhen high-speed railway.
