High-speed railway has an essential impact on the economic and social development of the regions along the line. Based on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, this paper constructs the DID model and analyzes the impact of Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway on the economic development of prefecture-level cities along the route from the empirical perspective. The empirical analysis results show that the Beijing- Shanghai high-speed railway has a significant negative impact on the per capita GDP of prefecture-level cities along the line in the short term, mainly because the agglomeration effect is greater than the diffusion effect. Therefore, small cities should actively think about how to deal with the agglomeration effect caused by the construction of high-speed rail. billion yuan. The line is a project with the most massive 1 Introduction scale and highest technique since the founding of China.

  • Eurostar Secures Financial Support Package
    Eurostar secures financial support package May 18, 2021 Eurostar has announced that it has reached a refinancing agreement with its shareholders and banks. The refinancing package of £250m1 mainly consists of additional equity and loans from a syndicate of banks2 guaranteed by the shareholders: SNCF, the French state railway group and Eurostar’s majority shareholder, Patina Rail LLP, a vehicle backed by Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (“CDPQ”) and funds managed by the Infrastructure team of Federated Hermes, and SNCB, the Belgian state train operator. Jacques Damas, Chief Executive of Eurostar, said: “Everyone at Eurostar is encouraged by this strong show of support from our shareholders and banks which will allow us to continue to provide this important service for passengers. The refinancing agreement is the key factor enabling us to increase our services as the situation with the pandemic starts to improve. Eurostar will continue to work closely with governments to move towards a safe easing of travel restrictions and streamlining of border processes to allow passengers to travel safely and seamlessly. Their co-ordinated actions and decisions are crucial to the restoring of demand and the financial recovery of our business.” Over the last year, this international business dedicated to routes connecting the UK with the continent, says it has experienced a more severe decline in demand resulting from the global COVID-19 pandemic than any other European train operator or competitor airline. With this package of support, Eurostar will be able to continue to operate this vital link and meet its financial obligations in the short to mid-term.

    The Basic Design of Korean High Speed Train System Kyung-Ryul Chung, Kyung-Taek Kim and Byung-Hyun Lee (330-825) 35-3 HongChonri, IbjangMyun, ChonAn, Korea High Speed Railway Technology R&D Division Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Phone : +82-41-589-8251, Fax : +82-41-589-8230 E-Mail : [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper summarize the basic design of the Korean High Speed Train System (KHST) and shows its sub components which were already manufactured. KITECH(Korea Institute of Industrial Technology) who is being strongly cooperated with KRRI (Korea Railway Research Institute) developed a new design of high speed train and several companies are involved and manufacturing so as to manufacture it in order to acquire key technologies and lead a high speed railway project in the future. First, three types of train configuration were introduced according to a way to install traction system and couple each car in a train set. Three types of the train configuration have been developed and validated against a variety of variables, such as energy consumption, passenger capacity and axle load and so on. Through numeral simulation, three train configurations were compared to each other, and an articulated high speed train with distributed traction showed better than the power car with articulated bogie and the distributed power train with conventional bogie. A distributed underfloor power train having a 15% more space for the seats need less number of bogies, reduced mass, lower running resistance and noise& vibration than the concentrated power train in case of an articulated trainset. However, the discrepancy between goal and the real state of affairs in Korea, a concept of the power car was selected, that is different from the simulation results.

  • Eurostar Refund Approach During the COVID-19 Pandemic
    31 July 2020 Marcus Clements Head of Consumer Policy Office of Rail and Road By email: Dear Marcus, Eurostar Refund Approach during the COVID-19 Pandemic I refer to your letter of 14 July. I note your reference to the Competition & Markets Authority (“CMA”) published guidance on 30 April and your comment that you have received complaints from members of the public about our refund policy and the refund methods offered. At Eurostar we strive to provide the best experience to all our customers during their travel, and equally with any pre-travel and after-travel contact. It is regrettable that some customers have been dissatisfied with our approach during the Covid-19 pandemic. I trust our response below will illustrate how we have treated all our customers fairly and reasonably throughout the pandemic. COVID-19 Impact The scale and nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented for Eurostar as it has been for many other travel-related businesses. It has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on the operations of Eurostar. Since March we have adapted our operations substantially to respond to an entirely new operating context. This has meant that we have totally redesigned many processes and systems to enable us to respond as quickly and efficiently as possible to customers and their needs. In addition, we have had to rethink our day-to-day processes so that we can meet social distancing guidelines and hygiene protocols. Finally, we have had to keep our customers informed with changing information and advice appropriate to them.
