New station names Shanghai East wuhan South Wuhan West on tielu org I wanted to see how the new train services after the opening of the Shanghai Nanjing High Speed Railway show up on I am not endorsing that site but it just happens to be the one Chinese train schedule site that I am familiar with As I query to the full list of trains shows up including dozens of the new expensive G trains The trains that arrive to Shanghai Railway Station are listed as coming to as expected But quite surprisingly those trains the majority of the G s that I believe are going to Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station are shown as arriving to some place called Shanghai East instead So apparently this is how tielu org chose to call the new Hongqiao Station Moreover Wuhan s two old stations the Wuchang Railway Station and the Hankou Railway Station got new monikers as well Wuhan South and Wuhan West respectively See e g the schedule for D3010 Wuchang Shanghai Hongqiao or under tielu org s new dispensation Wuhan West Shanghai East Now I have used the tielu org site long enough and know that until quite recently Wuchang and Hankou always appeared there under their usual names none of this Wuhan West Wuhan South business A quick web search did not find anything particularly useful about this matter other than a few people s comments on the label for the Wuchang Station on a discussion forum If anyone in the know reads this page could he comment if this renaming is simply that website s own idea or the new names have some official or semi official status If they are we probably should indicate so in the appropriate articles
