The Nanjing metro operator has commissioned Siemens to equip both metro Ninghe Intercity Line and its 24 trains with the Trainguard automatic train protection system. In the long term more than ten metro lines will be built in Nanjing, of which five alone will feature Siemens signaling technology.
Siemens has a long partnership in China with the Nanjing Metro Corporation. Siemens equipped metro line 1, which started running in 2005 and is now 47 kilometers long, as well as metro line 2 in 2010. Line 2 serves 26 stations and forms the east-west tangent of the city of Nanjing in eastern China. Following the extension of the city’s metro with line 2, the rail network now covers 85 kilometers. Line 10, Nangjing’s first cross-Yangtze river metro line, was put into operation on 1 July 2014. Its first phase runs 23.6 kilometers with 14 stations. The latest Nanjing metro line fitted with signaling technology from Siemens is Nanjing Metro Line 3, which went on public operation on 1 April 2015.
