The train that never stops at a station -- people can embark and disembark- Chinese Concept
This train doesn't stop at a station
Read before viewing the video link below as it is in Mandarin Chinese.
A brilliant new Chinese train innovation - get on & off the bullet train without the train stopping.
No time is wasted. The bullet train is moving all the time. There are 30 stations between Beijing and Guangzhou , just stopping and accelerating again at each station will waste both energy and time. A mere 5 min stop per station (elderly passengers cannot be hurried) will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30 stations or 2.5 hours of train journey time!
How it works...
1. Those who are boarding the train at a station get into to a connector cabin before the train arrives at the station. When the train arrives, it will not stop. It just slows down to pick up the connector cabin which will move with the train on its roof. While the train is still moving away from the station, those passengers will board the train from the connector cabin stopped on the roof. After fully unloading all its passengers, the connector cabin will be moved to the back of the train so that passengers who want to get off at the next station will climb up into the connector cabin at the rear of the train roof.
2. When the train arrives at the next station, it will simply drop the whole connector cabin at the station and leave it behind. At the same time, the train will pick up another connector cabin on the front part of the train's roof. So the train will always drop one connector cabin from the rear of its roof and pick up a new connector cabin in the front part of the train’s roof at each station.
