High-speed train service arriving

China will in April open a new high-speed train service, linking the central industrial hub of Wuhan with the city of Zhuhai on the southern coast. Under the new service a single trip will take 5 hours and 14 minutes to cover the 1,123 kilometer distance, which takes more than 13 hours by car. Ticket sales started on Tuesday for the new service, which is scheduled to open on April 16.
