Show 3 and we're starting to look beyond "just China"... This show from 13 April 2019 is addicted to the following news, information, and updates-we-thought-you'd-find-interesting... - Longer trains, and at that, more longer trains on the Beijing-Shanghai HSR - A MAGLEV(!?) between Guangzhou and Shenzhen is apparently on the drawing board — 600 km/h anyone? - 30 cities in China are about to get new metro lines and extensions this year (tube fans, great place to relocate to...) - When the Chinese government turns May Break into a 4-day long weekend, the railways have thousands of extra trains ready! - Finally, how SHOULD your name turn up on a Chinese train ticket — John Doe or Doe John? (Middle names too are a trap...) There are plenty of train sound effects because we are all about trains... hint hint! Approximate running time: 23 minutes Presented by David Feng
