China opens Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed rail link

China’s latest new high-speed passenger rail line went into service Tuesday, halving travel time to 45 minutes between Shanghai and the eastern lake city of Hangzhou, officials said.

The line expands China’s rapid rail network to more than 7,430 kilometres (4,620 miles) as the nation continues to invest in building the world’s largest high-speed train system, the rail authority said in a statement.
