I read from newspaper that Shanghai Metro #1 North Extension will open very soon. Good news! The new operation plan is interesting. It works like this:
After every three trains from Xinzhuang to Shanghai Railway Station and return, the forth train will move on until it reach the new terminal station – Gongfu Xincun and return.
It means, some passengers need to get off the train at Shanghai Railway Station and wait on the platform until the right train (one out of four) arrives and continue their journey. It also means in contrast of 2-3 minutes interval of Metro Line #1, the train intervals for the metro station between Shanghai Railway Station and Gongfu Xincun will be 8-12 minutes.
The Metro System in Shanghai is stepping into a new era – a confusing era. For the first time, the train system became complicated. The trains on the same station may go to different places. It is not as straight forward as get-on-board-and-arrive as before. Don’t get me wrong. I did mean anything bad – it is inevitable for the Metro System to get confusing when more and more stations and lines are added into the system. Let’s wait and see how Shanghai Metro face this new challenge.
Update Wangjianshuo’s Blog Update notification service resumed
Due to a bug in the system, I sent out multiple identical emails to Wangjianshuo’s Blog Update distribution list before. I have paused the service for two months to fix it. Now, with the new code I wrote on top of Feedonfeeds, it is back again. You may find daily update to your mailbox again. Thanks for your patience.
yeah i agree…. it only makes it ever more important to have correct and clear directional signs for passengers.
I am glad that something is happening in this techknowlogical field of magnetic forces. The world will be a better place because of it. Today there is available to all the knowledge of the Anciences’. Antimatter is between the North & South poles of everything that is matter. The power of ‘&’ is comming. I have the data and it is free to all that request it.
Remember the Dick Tracey magnetic platforms?
Magneto & Mandrake the magician?
Magnetism has always been interesting and somewhat controversial. However, its potential is incontrovertible… ct
