Talk:Shanghai–Hangzhou maglev line

electro-magnetic radiation fears

I have added a note to the article about the electro-magnetic radiation fears. There is no scientific data cited about actual levels of radiation for Transrapid. Transrapid and supporters categorically reject such claims and can cite measured fields to show it is groundless. Without this the article tacitly lends credence to these claims. The "fears" might have been real (so these reference can be left) but that does not mean the purported cause is real. Tjej (talk) 03:03, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

BBC article

This BBC article mentions a train travelling between Shanghai and Hangzhou, so it seems the rail line is already built. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 12:52, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

The BBC article refers to the Shanghai–Hangzhou High-Speed Railway. Ekem (talk) 15:19, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Aha! I'll add it over there then. Thanks! Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 17:38, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

More clearly: In operation is the High-Speed link, i.e. "bullet train" with wheels. Maglev project was suspended. Tommasel (talk) 10:10, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Rail line is open

This article from the UK's Independent announced the opening of the line: http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/china-opens-shanghaihangzhou-highspeed-rail-link-2116722.html

I was in the area one year ago (Nov. 2009) and saw the line under construction. It's an above-ground line on pillars ranging from 20 to 40 feet in height depending on topography and obstacles. One year ago there were only pillars in place for about half the distance between Hangzhou and Shanghai and a few short sections where they had begun putting concrete girders between the pillars. It's mind-boggling to believe that they could have it finished and operating by now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.244.232.254 (talk) 18:42, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
