About This Content Boasting over 570 km of truly rapid inter-city travel, the Southwest China High Speed Network, available for Train Simulator, is a wonder in and of itself; watch high-flying viaducts and scenic valleys soar past as you embark on one of the fastest sets of rails in the world courtesy of Partner Programme Developer Just Trains.China has the largest High Speed Rail network in the world, with new, passenger-dedicated lines spanning a phenomenal 22,000 km across the mammoth nation, whisking millions of passengers between 29 of the country’s Provinces at speeds in excess of 350 km/h.This vast network began in 1997 when a radical series of ‘Speed Up’ campaigns were undertaken to improve the sorry-state railways of China. Diesel-powered passenger trains were forced into sharing tracks with freight across the country, and when combined with the limiting topography that governed the network, many services were losing out to road and air traffic.Between 1997 and 2004, five total ‘Speed Up’ campaigns were undertaken. Extra track was laid, many routes were electrified, steep grades were shallowed with tunnels and viaducts plus much more. By December 1994, the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Railway was operating at 160 km/h, the first line to offer such a speed – only years later, this would be increased to 200 km/h post-electrification. This railway was also the first to separate freight and passenger operations, this was made possible in 2000 and 2007 by opening a third and fourth track; for sure, the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Railway served as a model for what the whole country was destined to become.By 2007, the first high speed rail lines had been completed, allowing for 250 km/h operation. Following the initial success, new routes would start sprouting across the country, and it wasn’t long before 350, even 380 km/h service was possible between the prominent cities and regions of China.To lessen the impact on journey times, and to avoid the costs of land acquisition, a significant percentage of the Chinese High-Speed Railway network is built upon vast viaducts. Similarly, many tunnels are also present, further keeping the track as level as possible for the trains that cut through the landscape.By 2011, passenger numbers had surpassed those of the major short-haul local flights, which found themselves all but replaced by high speed rail; people would opt to travel on the cheaper and hassle-free journeys through the countryside. Fast forward, and China’s high speed railway network handled over 1.44 Billion passengers in 2016, a record-breaking feat.In order to operate this vast network, China was in need of various high speed train designs that would be capable of rapid acceleration, maintaining comfort, and above all – achieving high speeds. Ensuring local self-sustainability in the Chinese manufacturing plants, technology transfers were requested as part of the rolling stock bid; this would allow foreign successes to be utilised on the growing high speed lines.One company in particular, Bombardier, had been sharing technology with China since 1998 and was able to provide their Regina family for 250 km/h operations on the new dedicated high speed lines. Construction of the new EMUs, which were classified as the CRH1A, was a joint venture between Bombardier and China’s manufacturers and a total of 186 8-car units exist today. Another of Bombardier’s designs, based on their Zefiro 250 family, was ordered as the CRH1E; a 16-car high speed sleeper EMU, the first of its kind in the world. From Just Trains, the Southwest China High Speed Network delivers the breath-taking experience of racing through 570km-worth of Chinese valleys and hills.Included Rolling Stock•CRH1A EMU•CRH1E EMUIncluded ScenariosThe Southwest China High Speed Network includes 15 challenging scenarios:CareerCRH1E-1.

It's a tad boring though.However, I don't like the marketing strategy used here. The route has a 380km\/h top line speed (350 km\/h in most parts), but to actually travel that fast, you need to buy another train. The trains included here are only going 250km\/h tops, which is terribly slow on a route this boring. If you like high speed, get it on a sale. Main upside is that it's long enough for a high speed route.. Why I can not anymore use QuickDrive? It just lost from menu even the track have QuickDrive when open editor.. This route is fairly good, but it has some low frame rates when traveling at high speeds. Recommend you buy the CRH380A along with this pack since it can reach the top speeds allowed on this route. Also, there are no scenarios for this route in the CRH380D. Pros:-good for going at 350 km\/h-does not need to download asset packs. The Just Trains version requires asset packs, but this downloads it together.-nice detailed cabs-stations are detailed-good AI traffic. When I drive the CRH380A, the AI includes CRH380A'sCons:-Low frame rate-no speedometer in the passenger mode (the real one has a display that shows speed)-objects sometimes pop out when traveling fast-no CRH symbol on CRH1A, CRH1E-emergency stops may be annoying if you just want to go fastOverall, this product is a 9\\10. Strongly recommend with the CRH380A.. Nice route Nice trainsNice everything. Ok, this is a very long route with pretty decent performance.

Main upside is that it's long enough for a high speed route.. Pros:- Length- Scenery and lots of custom-made assetsCons:- Even more boring than trodding along Donner Pass- Few scenarios in career mode, almost all of them are in Standard for whatever reason.- Detalisation is not there, while assets are decently detailed, route itself looks quite bare-bone- Sounds are scarce and sub-par, horn sounds like it was ripped from some youtube video. - Controls in the cab are scarse as they are, and even less of them are working.- Lack of population. This is China, FFS! And yet you with your completely empty train will arrive at YUGE, but similarly empty, stations. With, like, three people on eight platforms. Or even ten on a good day.. Nice route Nice trainsNice everything. Horrible sounds for the included trains. Nice scenery but overall not recommended, atleast not when cosidering the price of it.... This game is ok but certainly not worth the money. I purchased it thinking it was great and opened it and was shocked. There are only 3 routes you can choose from and 1 train only. The sound is pretty basic and half the controls don't work. The graphics aren't nearly as good as I expected them to be.. Why I can not anymore use QuickDrive? It just lost from menu even the track have QuickDrive when open editor.
