The perspectives of very High Speed Mainlines in the Russian Federation Aleksandr Misharin First Vice-president, Russian Railways 25.04.2013
FOCUS AREAS OF VHSM CONSTRUCTION IN RUSSIA HSR “Moscow-St. Petersburg” HSR “Moscow – Adler” HSR “Moscow – Yekaterinburg The total number of people living in the gravity zone of the planned high-speed lines is 90.4 million people (63.7% of the total population of the Russian Federation).
High speed traffic line Moscow – Yekaterinburg (VSM-2) will connect agglomeration territory populated with 20 million people Moscow 625km23h 37min 423km8h07min 230 km 3 h 51 min 479 km 6 h 41 min 251 km 1 h 50 min 210 km 1 h 45 min 1123km21h 33 min 438km2h45min 180 km 50 min 247 km 58 min 225km1h00min 136 km 34 min 648km3h 05min 240 km 1 h 03 min Railroad 11.5 Highway Vladimir Population Million people ххх 0.34 Airport / regular flight connection Nizhny Novgorod 1.25 Very high speed mainline 0.46 High speed mainline Cheboksary Kazan 0.91 0.51 1.14 Perm Naberezhnye Chelny 1.38 Yekaterinburg 1.07 The construction of the very high speed mainline is a comprehensive solution for the arrangement of passenger transportation between 10 cities (6 million-plus cities including feeder service) and linking about 20 million of urban population. VSM-2 consists of 21 routes (41 with feeder service) , 11 of which do not have regular flight connection . Average trip length ~800 km Ufa 1.2 Chelyabinsk SOURCE: working group analysis
ATTRACTION ZONES FOR PROSPECTIVE MAINLINES AND VHSM In the result of VHSM launching Russia can take a strategic place on the new transit route from Asia to Europe China’s long term plans include the construction of the largest VHSM network - “Silk Way” – that will connect Europe with the Far East. At present, China holds talks with 17 countries the territory of which the VHSM network is to cross. 2 possible VHSM routes: Option 1: through Kazakhstan and Russia. Thus, VHSM construction will give Russia an advantage over other countries in world trade flow. Option 2: through India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and further through Istanbul to Europe. Option 2 Option 1
