“the 13th Five-Year plan”The plan proposes to improve the modern comprehensive transportation system, adhere to the network layout, intelligent management, integrated services, and green development, and build a comprehensive transportation system with domestic and international channels connected, extensive regional urban and rural coverage, complete hub node functions, and integrated and efficient transportation services.Railway is an important part of the comprehensive transportation system and the main artery of national economic development. China's railway density is still lower than that of developed countries, and the road network layout is not perfect, especially in the central and western regions.In order to promote railway network construction and transportation artery construction to support economic and social upgrading and development, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with the Ministry of Transport and China Railway Corporation, has just jointly issued the Medium and Long term Railway Network Plan with the approval of the State Council.[1]
Railway is the main artery of the national economy, key infrastructure and major livelihood projects.The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to railway development.In 2004, the State Council approved the Medium and Long Term Railway Network Plan (hereinafter referred to as the Plan).In 2008, the Development and Reform Commission organized revision and adjustment.In order to better serve and support the major national strategy, the Development and Reform Commission started the planning revision work at the end of 2014, and asked the Railway Corporation to study and put forward suggestions on the planning revision plan, and each province (district, city) to study and put forward relevant suggestions.On this basis, the Development and Reform Commission, together with the Ministry of Transport and the China Railway Corporation, conducted in-depth scientific demonstration and solicited opinions from all sectors, forming a draft of the Plan for review.On June 29, 2016, Premier Li Keqiang chaired the 139th executive meeting of the State Council, which reviewed and passed the Plan in principle.On July 13, 2016, the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Transport and China Railway Corporation officially issued the Planning[6]。
General considerations
Medium and Long Term Railway Network Planning (2016-2025)[2]Since its implementation, China's railway development has achieved remarkable results, the basic network has been initially formed, the service level has been significantly improved, the innovation ability has been significantly enhanced, and the railway reform has achieved a breakthrough, which has played an important role in promoting economic and social development, ensuring and improving people's livelihood, supporting the implementation of major national strategies, and enhancing China's comprehensive strength and international influence.By the end of 2022Railway operating mileage155000 km, includinghigh-speed rail42000 km, realizing the original planning goal in advance.[4]
On the whole, China's railway transport capacity tension is basically relieved, bottleneck constraints are basically eliminated, and basically meet the needs of economic and social development.However, compared with the new situation and requirements of development, the railway still has shortcomings such as imperfect road network layout, operational efficiency to be improved, and prominent structural contradictions.
At present, China is in the decisive stage of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. The new trends and opportunities facing economic and social development put forward new and higher requirements for railway development: first, promote the supply side structural reform, and require the expansion of effective railway supply;The second is to expand the space for regional development, which requires strengthening the supporting and leading role of the railway;The third is to build a comprehensive transportation system, which requires giving play to the green backbone advantages of the railway;Fourth, implement the overall national security concept and require to improve the level of railway emergency support;Fifthly, it is required to build a modern railway infrastructure network to enrich the development advantages of the industry.
During the revision of the Plan, we always adhere to the implementation of the new development concept, follow the law of railway development, give play to the role of railway backbone advantages, coordinate demand and possibility, give consideration to economic and social benefits, focus on increasing effective supply, clarifying functional levels, improving service efficiency, and giving consideration to efficiency and fairness, and strive to build a reasonable layout, wide coverage, efficient and convenientThe safe and economic modern railway network provides strong support for building a modern comprehensive transportation system, promoting sustainable and healthy economic and social development, and achieving the "two centenary goals".The Plan insists on supporting, leading and innovative development;Scientific layout and shared development;Clear hierarchy, coordination and optimization;Efficient connection, open integration;The basic principles of safety, reliability and green intensiveness.
Development objectives
The planning period is 2016-2025, and the long-term outlook is 2030.
By 2020, a number of major landmark projects will be completed and put into operation,railway networkThe scale reaches 150000 kilometers, including 30000 kilometers of high-speed railway, covering more than 80% of large citiesthe 13th Five-year PlanTo provide strong support for the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
By 2025, the scale of the railway network will reach about 175000 kilometers, including about 38000 kilometers of high-speed railway. The network coverage will be further expanded, the structure of the railway network will be more optimized, and the backbone role will be more prominent, so that the railway will play a better role in ensuring economic and social development.
Looking forward to 2030, we will basically realize internal and external interconnection, smooth inter regional multi routes, high-speed rail connection in provincial capitals, fast access to cities and prefectures, and basic coverage of counties.
Major programmes
The planning scheme includes three parts:
（1） High speed railway network.In the original plan“Four vertical and four horizontal”On the basis of the main framework, add high-speed railway with passenger flow support, appropriate standards and development needs, and make full use ofExisting railway, formed to“Eight vertical and eight horizontal”The main channel is the skeleton, and the regional connection line is connectedIntercity railwayComplementary high-speed railway network.
The construction standards of high-speed railway network are also clearly divided.In principle, the new project of high-speed railway main channel planning adopts the standard of 250 km/h and above (which can be appropriately reduced in areas with complex topography, geology and climate conditions), of which the railway with dense population, developed economy and connecting megacities along the line can adopt the standard of 350 km/h.Regional railwayIn principle, the connection line adopts the standard of 250km/h and below.In principle, the intercity railway adopts the standard of 200km/h and below.
（2） Regular speed railway network.Focus on expanding the road network coverage in the central and western regions and improving the eastern regionNetwork layoutWe will improve the quality of the existing road network and promote the connectivity of neighboring countries.
Specific planning scheme: First, form an inter regional fast and large capacity channel.It includes 12 trans regional, multi-path and convenient inter regional channels with large capacity.Second, facing the "Belt and Road" international channel.We will promote connectivity between China and neighboring countries from the northwest, southwest, and northeast directions, improve port supporting facilities, and strengthen the rear channels of coastal ports.Third, we will promote poverty alleviation and land development.A number of planning projects have been proposed from three aspects: expanding the coverage of the road network, improving the access to Tibet, Xinjiang, and promoting the development and opening up along the border.Fourth, strengthen the railway collection and distribution system.Planning and construction of regional development railway, port dredging type, park type, etcBranch railwayImprove the collection and distribution system.
(III)Comprehensive transportation hub。The hub is an important node of the railway network. In order to give better play to the overall efficiency of the railway network and the ability of supporting points and lines, this revision of the plan will further optimize the layout of railway passenger and freight hubs in accordance with the principle of "passengers inside and goods outside", form a modern comprehensive transportation hub with a complete system, convenient integration and integration of stations and cities, and achieve "zero distance" passenger transfer and "seamless" logistics connection"Integration" of transport services.
After the implementation of the above road network scheme, the long-term railway network scale will reach about 200000 km, including about 45000 km of high-speed railway.The national railway network fully connects cities with a population of more than 200000, and the high-speed railway network basically connects provincial capital cities and other large and medium-sized cities with a population of more than 500000, realizing a 1-4 hour traffic circle between adjacent large and medium-sized cities, and a 0.5-2 hour traffic circle within the urban agglomeration.
Safeguard measures
The Plan proposes eight safeguard measures, including deepening the reform of the investment and financing system, fostering and strengtheningHigh speed railway economy, scientifically organize project construction, build a comprehensive transportation system, strengthen scientific and technological support for talents, improve sustainable development capability, improve planning implementation mechanism, strengthen process supervision and evaluation, etc.
The above is the relevant background and brief content of the Planning.In order to help you understand the Plan more intuitively, we also made a diagram of the Plan, which will be available on the NDRC website soon.

The Medium and Long term Railway Network Plan was first published in 2004 and adjusted in 2008. What are the new changes in the content of the revision of the Medium and Long term Railway Network Plan compared with the 2004 plan and the 2008 adjustment?
There are mainly four aspects:
First, in this revision, the level of planning scheme is more clear.At present, the infrastructure construction of the railway is developing continuously, and the network is also improving day by day, which provides the conditions for overall planning at different levels.Therefore, this plan is the first time that the "high-speed railway network" is clearly proposed in the railway planning, and the network railway is the first time proposed. At the same time, the "general speed railway network" is also planned. These two networks are connected to each other, forming a network, forming the overall network of China's railway layout.
Second, the connection of comprehensive transportation has been strengthened.At the same time of railway network planning, more emphasis is put on the development of modern comprehensive transportation system, which not only plays the role of various transportation modes, but also emphasizes the effective connection and integration of various transportation modes.On the transportation hub, better concentrate various transportation modes andTransportation hubIn one, improve the efficiency of hub transfer collection and distribution. To achieve zero distance transfer for passenger transport, it is more direct transfer, and try to reduce the transfer time. To achieve seamless connection for freight transport, it is more effective to improve the efficiency of transportation and effectively reduce costs. This is also a people-centered development idea.
On line, it is mainly to coordinate the layout of various transportation modes, such as the layout of railways, highways and pipelines, better share channel resources, including channel resources across rivers and bridges, and more effectively play the role of various transportation modes.In general, we should better develop multimodal transport, and effectively connect various transport modes, including molten iron, rail transit, and rail transit to improve the efficiency of transportation.
Third, the safeguard measures are also more powerful.The railway network planning is not completely a road network layout, but also strengthens the safeguards for railway development, including deepening the reform of the investment and financing system, cultivating and strengthening the high-speed railway economy, scientifically organizing the construction of projects, and building a comprehensive transportation system.
Fourth, the integration of railway and economic and social development is more in-depth.The plan also clearly put forward the concept of developing high-speed railway economy, focusing on cultivating and strengthening new business forms of high-speed railway economy, relying on high-speed railway channels, and taking high-speed railway stations as the fulcrum to promote the coordinated development of the economy and society along the line, so high-speed railway economy is a new development requirement with more characteristics in the planning.
The revision period of the Planning is from 2016 to 2025, and the focus of the planning is to consider the spatial layout of the road network.With the rapid progress of railway construction, how should the medium - and long-term railway network be refined and implemented during the "13th Five Year Plan" period?
The railway network planning is a medium - and long-term plan. The planning period is 2016-2025, and it also looks forward to 2030.Because this is a layout plan, the arrangement of specific construction projects should be specifically implemented in the "13th Five Year Plan" and the five-year comprehensive transportation system plan in the future, that is, specific construction projects should be implemented through the five-year plan.On the basis of the five-year plan, annual construction arrangements will also be carried out.The National Development and Reform Commission and China Railway Corporation also study the annual railway construction plan to promote its implementation.The railway development in the "13th Five Year Plan" is in a very important critical period. The railway will also focus on the layout and construction around the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and serve to support the three major strategies, poverty alleviation and coordinated regional development.During the "13th Five Year Plan" period, the railway construction will be arranged according to the needs and possibilities, and the economic and social benefits will be coordinated to maintain a proper pace and intensity.The overall goal is to reach 150000 km of railway mileage and 30000 km of high-speed railway by 2020. The total railway scale is to increase by 29000 km, including 11000 km of high-speed railway.From the point of view of construction, one is to improve the high-speed railway network“Four vertical and four horizontal”The construction is being accelerated. During the "13th Five Year Plan" period, most of the "four vertical and four horizontal" projects will be completed. At the same time, some new "eight vertical and eight horizontal" railway corridor projects will be opened, so that high-speed railways can be gradually connected to each other and give full play to comprehensive benefits.
The second is to strengthen railway construction in the central and western regions, which is an important aspect of national railway construction.In recent years, the State Council has always emphasized accelerating the development of railways in the central and western regions, focusing on entering Tibet, leaving Xinjiang, border areas and border areas, as well as railway construction in poor areas and ethnic minority areas, to provide strong support for poverty alleviation and the development of ethnic minority areas.During the preparation of the "13th Five Year Plan" comprehensive transportation system planning, the construction projects of railways, including roads, airports and other modes of transportation will be implemented one by one, and the "13th Five Year Plan" transportation will be well coordinated, connected and developed.
