BEIJING (AFP) - China started service on Wednesday on the world's longest high-speed rail route, the latest milestone in the country's rapid and - sometimes troubled - super fast rail network.

The opening of the new 2,298km line between Beijing and Guangzhou means passengers will be whisked from the capital to the southern commercial hub in less than a third of the 22 hours previously required.

China Central Television broadcast the departure of the first train live from Beijing West Railway Station. It also carried live reports from inside showing passengers toting cameras to apparently snap commemorative photos.

Trains will travel at an average speed of 300 kph over the line, which includes 35 stops in major cities such as Zhengzhou, Wuhan on the Yangtze River and Changsha.

Tried the high speed rail from BJ to Shanghai while on holiday with family last June. Very clean. Very fast. Very efficient.

Not cheap. But convenient way to travel instead of flying. Can book seats in advance and bring luggage on board. Very user friendly.
