Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - A report on the planning of railwayroutes and stations in Hanoi was published by the Transport Design ConsultancyCorporation (TEDI) and the Centre for Transport Development and InvestmentConsulting (CCTDI).
The consortium proposed that Ngoc Hoi Station will be the southern transferdepot and a place for train storage, maintenance, and repair for Thuong Tin toNgoc Hoi Stations while the eastern terminal is Lac Dao in neighbouring Hung Yenprovince.
The northern terminal station, Yen Thuong in Gia Lam district will be added toassume the function of a cargo terminal while Yen Vien Station is a passengerterminal including the transit connection with line 1 of the urban railway, andBac Hong Station in Dong Anh district will be an intermediate station that willhave land set aside for its development.
Hanoi Station will serve passengers of the urban railway and high-speed trains.
The station for the North-South high-speed railway line will be placed in NgocHoi, about 10km from the city’s centre.
On the other hand, the high-speed railway using advanced technology andseparate lines, as well as stereoscopic intersections does not conflict withurban transport modes, and thus it won't suffer the same shortcomings as thecurrent radial national railway system.
It is recommended to connect high-speed rail to Hanoi Station.
According to the report, the Hanoi railway network in the future will includeall the current radial lines and add two more ring routes of the eastern beltconnecting Ngoc Hoi-Lac Dao-Bac Hong-Thach Loi before 2030 and will have awestern belt connecting Ngoc Hoi-Thach Loi after 2030.
Besides, a number of new radial railway lines on corridors with high transportdemand such as Hanoi-HCM City, Lao Cai-Hanoi-Hai Phong, and Hanoi-Lang Son willbe built.
Regarding the plan of operating the Hanoi railway, in the first phase, allradial passenger trains are proposed to stop at main stations on the ringroutes and transit stations through public transport means such as buses andurban railway. Only high-speed passenger trains approach Hanoi Station.
In the next stages, when satellite cities develop large enough and the demandfor transport between satellite cities and the central city increases, there willbe more passenger trains connecting suburban to urban areas to serve commutersof employees and students.
Meanwhile, freight trains will organise inter-linear operations via the ringrailway. On the ring roads, there will be stations that have both technicalfunctions of train operation and cargo handling to meet local needs./.
Heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Vietnam Railways Corporation (VNR) has made great efforts to reduce losses by actively targeting cargo transport instead of just passenger transport.
Trains on the Nhon – Hanoi Railway Station metro line were put on a trial run at a maximum speed of 80 km per hour on December 6. The trains departed from the S1 Station (Nhon) and ran to S8 Station (Cau Giay district) and returned. The distance between the two stations is 8.5 km.
The Hanoi Railway Transport JSC (Haraco) has said that it will run extra passenger trains on the Hanoi – Lao Cai route, starting from September, to meet the rising travel demand to the resort town of Sa Pa.
The Nhon-Hanoi Railway Station urban rail system in the capital city will undergo a test run starting from December 5 in limited conditions, according Sytra – the consulting contractor of the project.
