CHINA: The signalling and communications systems on the Hong Kong and Mainland sections of the Guangzhou Shenzhen Hong Kong Express Rail Link high speed line were connected on July 5, enabling the third of the nine trainsets for the future service to be delivered from CRRC Qingdao Sifangs factory by rail instead of by sea. This is one of the key milestones of the XRL project, marking full connectivity between the Hong Kong section and the Mainland section of the high speed rail network, said MTR Corp Projects Director Dr Philco Wong when the trainset arrived.
