Meanwhile, to alleviate its impact on the lives of residents along the railway, the sound barriers will be installed on both sides of the section from Zhuangqiao Station to Ningbo East Railway Station.
The train routes of the high-speed rail have not been finalized so far, but it is for sure that both the G-type and D-type trains will be running on the rail, with the speed of 300km per hour for G-type trains and 200km per hour for D-type ones. Besides, the direct non-stop train from Ningbo to Hangzhou will be opened. At the same time, some trains will only stop at some major stations along the rail.
The last stop of the Hangzhou-Ningbo high-speed rail is Zhuangqiao Station, the original route will be adopted from which to Ningbo East Railway Station. The current trains (including both for freight and passengers) run at a maximum speed of 120km per hour. When the high-speed rail is put into operation, the trains will still run at 120km per hour in this section. In addition, to minimize the impact of the high-speed trains on the residents along the rail, sound barrier equipments will be installed on both sides of the existing lines between Zhuangqiao Station and Ningbo East Railway Station.
