# Line 10 (Shanghai Metro)

Line 10 is a southwest–northeast line of the Shanghai Metro network that opened for service on April 10, 2010. The line runs from Jilong Road to Hongqiao Railway Station, with a branch line from Longxi Road to Hangzhong Road. It has been given the unofficial nickname “Golden Line” as it links many of the city's tourist attractions like Yuyuan and Xintiandi. It connects the Hongqiao International Airport with the downtown core of Shanghai, and also the dense residential districts of Yangpu and Hongkou. It is the only line in the system with numbered station codes. It is the first high-density and high-volume fully automatic subway line in mainland China, operating with GoA4 unattended train operation. The line is colored lilac on system maps.

## Technology
### Signalling

Line 10 is one of the first lines in China capable of automatic train operation. However, upon opening it was operated with drivers on board. In 2020, the line started transitioning into GoA4 unattended train operation with driver cabs being gradually removed for the entire Line 10 fleet.
Between December 2020 and January 2021, SATEE supplied its OptONIX and ONIX metro traction systems for 156 metro cars of Shanghai Line 10, with support from Xi'an Alstom Yongji Electric Equipment Co. Ltd (XAYEECO). It was also responsible for the train control monitoring system (TCMS) of Shanghai Line 10, and the line's train electrical design. During the same period, CASCO has successfully put into service its Urbalis 888 signalling solution on six of these metro lines in Chengdu and Shanghai.

### Rolling stock

The line uses 6-car Class A trains.

## Incidents and Accidents
### Construction incidents

There have been a number incidents during the construction of Line 10 but none lead to reported deaths or major injuries. On April 20, 2007, a crane on the Songyuan Road construction site collapsed into a five-story building causing some external damage. On June 25, 2008, during tunnel boring between Liyang Road and Quyang Road, a blowout occurred, letting water and sand enter the tunnel and creating minor sinkholes nearby. On July 21, at the intersection of South Shaanxi Road and Nanchang Road, Line 10 tunnel boring caused a sinkhole with a diameter of 1.8 meters (5 ft 11 in) and a depth of about 6 meters (19 ft 8 in) to appear. On May 18, 2009, a fire broke out on the construction site of Tongji University, covering an area of 100 square meters (1,100 sq ft) and burning down more than ten workers’ dormitories. No deaths were caused by this incident, as the workers were all evacuated in time. On January 6, 2010, a crane at Songyuan Road suddenly lost control during operation, causing a 5 meters (16 ft 5 in)-long boom to crash on the roofs of two construction vehicles.
