History

Line 9 drawn to scale.

Line 9 was first announced in July 2009, with an environmental impact report released for public comment. It would start as an elevated line at Fei'eling in Huadu Autocity, before diving down to cross the Tianma River and passing through Guangzhou North Railway Station. It would then climb over the Airport Expressway North Extension before diving down again to meet Line 3 at Gaozeng station, with a total of 8 stations. Works were planned to start in September the same year, with an indicative opening date of December 2012.[3]

In May 2011, the line was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. By then, the alignment had shifted to entirely underground, with the addition of 2 stations (Huachenglu and Liantang) and one future infill station (Qingtang).[4]

Qingtang station was approved to be built by the local government in August 2015, with a planned completion date in the first half of 2018.[2]

Timetable simulation testing began on 16 November 2017[2], with the full line except Qingtang opening on 28 December 2017.[5] Qingtang opened on 30 June 2018.[6]

Rolling Stock

Line 9 uses 6 car Type B trains.

Eleven trains were ordered for the initial opening and given internal designation B6. They have a top speed of 120km/h and capacity of 1492 passengers (2032 crush load). The first train was manufactured by CRRC Zhuzhou, with the rest manufactured locally by Guangzhou CRRC Rail Transit Equipment.[8] This was the first class of train to use LCD passenger information displays, a standard that has now been adopted across all new rollingstock. The livery features a rippling waistline in the line's colour (pale green) and orange lotus patterns, symbolising respectively the ripples of the Pearl River and Huadu subdistrict, which literally translates as Flower City.[2]
