[quote=BBQQ,438387]After 7.23 train crash in Wenzhou, the Ministry of Railways plan to lower the speed of the high speed trains. 
According to the Ministry of Railways, the speed of the high speed trains on the Beijing-Tianjin inter-city line and Shanghai-Hangzhou high speed rail will drop from from 350 km/h to 300 km/h. The speed of high speed trains on the Hefei-Nanjing, Hefei-Wuhan, Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan, Nanchang-Jiujiang, Ningbo-Xiamen, Changchun-Jilin, Qinhuangdao-Shenyang, Hainan Donghuan high speed rails will be adjusted from 250 km/h to 200 km/h. The speed of the D trains on normal lines will decrease from 200km/h to 160 km/h.

At the same moment, the ticket prices of high speed trains and bullet trains will drop about 5 percent.

Additionally, the new train running graph will be adopted in two phases. In the first phase, the high speed trains on Beijing-Tianjin inter-city line, Beijing-Shanghai line, Guangzhou-Zhuhai line and Hainan Donghuan high speed rail will run according to the latest train running graph from 24:00 on August 16. In the second phase, the latest train running graph for other high speed trains will be adopted from 24:00 on August 28.

Plus, the bullet train with sleeping berths from Beijing to Shanghai will run again from September 1. However, the number of the high speed trains will decrease on Beijing-Shanghai high speed rail due to the technical malfunctions of CRH380BL mode high speed train.
