Daxing Airport Express Reaches Lize Shangwuqu
A 3.5 km fully underground northern extension carries the Daxing airport line one stop on from Caoqiao to Lize Shangwuqu in Fengtai District, bringing the airport service closer to central Beijing. Work on the extension started in 2020.
- Phase 2 of the Daxing Airport Express is "a 3.5 km (2.2 mi) northern extension to Lize Shangwuqu (Lize Business District) station", under construction, fully underground, taking the line to a total of 44.86 km (27.87 mi); it "started construction in 2020" and "will be completed in 2026" - the article gives the year only, not the pin's 31 December date[1]
- Lize Shangwuqu is in Fengtai, Beijing, and interchanges with Lines 14 and 16; the current northern terminus is Caoqiao, which interchanges with Lines 10 and 19[1]
- The line connects Caoqiao, at the Southern 3rd Ring Road, with Beijing Daxing International Airport, running through Fengtai and Daxing districts in Beijing and Guangyang district in Langfang, Hebei; it is coloured blue on subway maps and its planned name is M35[1]
- Phase 1 is 41.36 km including 17.71 km of elevated and 23.65 km of underground track, with all three stations underground: Caoqiao at 0.000 km, Daxing Xincheng at 13.028 km and Daxing Airport at 25.303 km, giving 38.331 km between terminals[1]
- The article dates the opening two ways: the infobox says 25 September 2019, while the body says "The line opened on September 26, 2019" and the segment table gives 26 September 2019 for Caoqiao-Daxing Airport[1]
- It runs 8-car Type D rolling stock built by CRRC Qingdao Sifang at up to 160 km/h on 25 kV 50 Hz AC overhead catenary, and is "the second Beijing Subway line to be fully automated and driverless, after the Yanfang line"[1]
- Fares are 10, 25 or 35 yuan one way in Ordinary Class and 50 yuan in Business Class: Caoqiao to Daxing Xincheng 10 yuan, Daxing Xincheng to Daxing Airport 25 yuan, Caoqiao to Daxing Airport 35 yuan[1]
- Its origins: the line was first planned to start from Mudanyuan and run parallel with Line 19 to Caoqiao, at a cost of more than 40 billion yuan, considered too expensive for a dedicated airport line; the parallel section was dropped, cutting the required investment by 20 billion yuan, and in 2014 a 19.7 billion yuan investment was reported. Construction started at the end of 2016 and test runs began in June 2019[1]
- Beyond Phase 2, a southern extension to Daxing Airport South is planned for the long term, and the Jing Xiong Express (Line R1 of Xiong'an Rail Transit) will through-operate with the line - its 86 km Daxing Airport to Xiong'an Terminal section, 65.7 km of it elevated, "is expected to open in 2026"[1]
