中国的官员说，他们将在今年八月正式开通北京到天津之间新的“子弹头”列车线路。
官方的新华社星期天援引铁路官员的话说，这种中国制造的“子弹头”列车的时速将达到每小时300公里。
铁路官员说，该列车将使北京到天津的行驶时间从目前的70到80分钟缩短到30分钟。
南宁铁路局局长邵力平说，新列车的原型在去年12月建造完毕并且已经完成了试运行。
有关官员说，新型列车将赶在2008年奥运会开幕前夕投入运行。
Officials in China say they will inaugurate a new bullet train route between Beijing and Tianjin in August.
The official Xinua news agency quoted railway officials Sunday as saying the Chinese-made train will run at 300 kilometers per hour.
The officials said the train would reduce the travel time between Beijing and Tianjin to 30 minutes from the current 70 to 80 minutes.
Shao Liping, director of the railway authority in Nanning, said a prototype of the train was finished in December, and has already completed a test run.
Officials said the train should be in service in time for the start of the 2008 Olympic Games.
