Eleven of the fast trains running the newly-opened Beijing-Shanghai fast rail link arrived at Beijing’s South Station behind schedule yesterday due to a power failure. Similar delays also occurred on Sunday resulting in 19 of the trains running late. Passengers complained that no free food was made available, with railway authorities explaining that this is not covered by the ticket. The cause of the power outages are still under investigation. Chinese websites are also reporting that more delays have occurred on Wednesday, with Sohu carrying a Donfang Wang story that quotes a passenger complaining that today’s G114 service has been delayed by 90 minutes and that the train has gone no faster than 130km per hour after leaving Shanghai, well below the speed at which the trains are supposed to travel.
