Do you know if China now makes her own wheel bearings for high speed train ? I know they have been relying on imports from
Japan/Germany in the past.
LYC bearing is the biggest supplier for china highspeed train most notably the Fuxing Hao (CR400AF/CR400BF)

Interesting, seems they supply bearings to other sectors as well. Seems they are the major and only suppliers of bearings to the railway sector. They have a long history indeed. I guess they have a deep history and experience . Nice 1. Thanks for the link

Holiday starting off strong.

BEIJING, Oct 2 (Reuters) - China's national railway recorded 23.13 million trips on the first day of the country's eight-day National Day holiday on Wednesday, up nearly 8% from a year earlier and setting a single-day record, state media CCTV reported. More than 19 million trips were expected to be made on the railway network on Thursday, CCTV said. The Yangtze River Delta Railway alone was forecast to handle four million passengers, a more than 10% increase from the previous year.

Minor update to ticket pricing, now adjusted w.r.t. demand (similar to airfare).

DALIAN, China -- National train operator China Railway has adopted dynamic pricing for its high-speed lines, anticipating improved profitability even with some steep fare discounts.

The pricing system applies to 1,300 trains operating on more than 130 lines nationwide. It raises fares for peak ridership trains expected to sell out their seats consistently and offers discounts for low-demand trains to fill seats during off-peak periods. Routes with longer travel times carry larger discounts. Depending on the route and the train, fares can be as low as 60% off.
