History

Dalian had an extensive tram network during the first half of the 20th century. The first line was opened on September 25, 1908 and 1950 reached the net with 11 lines of a length of 65.9 km. After 1950 the large population growth in Dalian swelled the road, so this increasingly hindered the trams. The traffic authority of the city therefore decided to reduce the network, and set up in 1980 after and after the operation, a total of eight tram lines. During this time, the first plan for a subway system was formed.

However, the setting of tram lines could not solve the problems associated with the continued growing traffic problems such as traffic congestion and air pollution. The tram network was now shrunk to three lines. The old lines could not be reopened because they have already been taken over by bus routes. The Department of Transportation tried eco-friendly trolleybus lines introduce: in addition to a first 1960 opened today 7.5km line from the station to Malan space followed in 1977 a second line from the station to the south on the route of the former tram line 6 trolleybuses remained but equally as the other buses stuck in traffic. Instead of the expansion of the trolleybus network was therefore proposed in 1987 a 82.4 km long separated from the street rail-based public transport system for the first time in the structure plan 1990-2010. The first tram line was 202 according to the model of the tunnel route Milchbuck Schwamendingenstrasse tram Zurich rebuilt and put into operation in 1999.

In 2000, a master plan 2000-2020 was created, tram, subway, rapid transit contains system and regional services, the rapid transit system in relation to the station intervals of a commuter train, but on a newly constructed track with metro is to operate trains. In September 2000, the construction of the nearly 50 -kilometer line 3, which connects downtown with the Dalian Development Area and the beach in Jinshitan began. The sea trials began in October 2002 and May 2003, the normal operations began, in 2004 followed by the extension to Dalian Railway Station. This line was complemented by a line designated as 7 Zweigstrecke to Jinzhou, which was opened on 28 December 2008.

In June 2009 the company began the construction of leading through the downtown subway lines 1 and leading to the North station, sports center and airport metro line 2, which should be opened originally in 2012. A number of Tunneleinstürzen in March 2010 led to a temporary halt to construction. The opening has been postponed to 2014. With the 2015 to be opened elevated train line 4, the route network to grow to a length of 58.1 km.

Dalian Rapid Transit

To Dalian Rapid Transit system includes the lines 3 and 7, as well as future lines 4 and 10, the partially a viaduct, but usually applied at street level routes have the character of an S -Bahn station with intervals between two and four kilometers. The standard gauge tracks are laid on gravel and spanned by an overhead line for 1500 V DC voltage. All stations have side platforms and are covered.

Trains run the day from 06:30 bis 20:00 clock clock at night, the operation is set. In low traffic time, the trains run every ten minutes during rush hour at a distance of five minutes and in the off-peak times at intervals of 20 minutes.

The twenty - four car trains were delivered from the local locomotive factory DLoco in two five series of ten. You can reach a top speed of 100 km / h and need for the 48.58 km long line 3 with operation of the stations 52 minutes, which corresponds to an average speed of 64 km / h. The cars hold 800 passengers, of which 176 seats. They are 78 m long, 2.8 m wide and 3.8 m high, the axle load is 14 tonnes. It is driven by eight asynchronous traction motors with a combined power of 1440 kW. The trains are derived from subway trains and have an aerodynamically optimized front.

Network

Line 3

Line 3 of the Rapid Transit System connects the Dalian Railway Station in the city center with the Dalian Development Zone and Jinshitan. One third of the route is done on high railway line, the rest is located at street level, only one station is located underground. On 1 May 2003, the portion of the station Xianglujiao was opened in the city center to Jinshitan, end of 2004, the introduction of an additional station to Dalian Railway Station.

Line 7

The line opened in 2008, 7 of the Rapid Transit system connects between Dalian and Jinzhou. It branches in the Development Zone at the station Kaifaqu from line 3 and extends from 14.3 km to the northeast to the terminus Jiuli. Along the line are six other stations.

Under construction lines

Line 1

Line 1, also called Red Line, performs 25.06 kilometers from west to east through the city center and serves 20 stations. The line starts in Hekou and leads to Haizhiyun Park. At the station Xi'an Road, there is a interchange with Line 2, of Gangwan Square can be reached 3 of the Dalian train station and the terminus of the line. The opening is planned for July 2014.

2012 Dalian Metro ordered 18 trains from CNR Dalian for the operation of the line 1 This B2 features are similar to those used in the Beijing subway and in the Shenyang Metro, but as has already been supplied trains will receive an aerodynamically optimized front. The interior lighting is in LED technology.

Originally the line was 1 as a north- south line planned through the city with an extension along the coast to Lüshunkou, the former Port Arthur, in the west. You should start in Phoenix peak at the line 3 and run road over the North Station south to Xian and from there via Hekou to Lüshunkou. The project has to be implemented to maintain the track of Hekou Xian road, but the route from Xian road to the North Station on Line 2 slammed, so this is the ring line. For the eastern part of the original line 2 of Xian road to Haizhiyun Park Line 1 was knocked down. The western branch of Hekou after Lüshunkou became the Rapid Transit line 8

Line 2

Line 2, also called Blue Line, a 42.56 km long ring line with a short diversion from North Station to Yaojia. It serves 29 stations and is scheduled to open in July 2014. The line runs from North Station south to Xi'an Road, thence in a westerly direction to Jiaotong University and the University of Education, and from there north to Dalian Zhoushuizi airport and the sports center back to North Station. In addition to the actual ring line the route from North Station is operated by Yaojia what the distance the form of a 6 outputs. At the Xi'an Road, there is a interchange with Line 1, at stations Dongwei Road and Nansong Street to line 4

2012 Dalian Metro ordered 20 trains from CNR Dalian for the operation of Line 2, which will be identical to those of line 1.

Originally the line was planned in the form of a C 2 and out Houyan on line 3 on the North Station and the airport to Xi'an Road and from there on to Donghaigongyuan. The route from North Station via the airport to Xi'an road was maintained, for it was the distance from the Xi'an Road to the east with the line 1 to the distance from the Xi'an road back to North Station and on to Yaojia exchanged, so that the line 2 to ring line was.

Line 8

The Rapid Transit line 8 connects Lüshunkou with Dalian. The route is 42.6 km long and will initially operate eight stops, six more are planned. Construction began on 8 May 2009, the opening was planned for late 2011, but had beginning in 2013 still not taken place.

Originally Lüshunkou should be connected with an extension of the tram line 202 to Dalian, which is referred to as line 4 and also opens up places on the northern coast of the peninsula. The line 8 is shorter and follows the original line 1 assigned Trassee along the south coast of the peninsula. The station Hekou will have four tracks on central platforms, so that a direct transition to the line 1 is.

Construction of the line was started in August 2010, the opening is planned for 2014. The project is expected to cost about 6.5 billion yen.

To 20 Rapid Transit trains to be procured for the operation, which allow a 6 -minute intervals. A later extension to a 2 -minute intervals should be possible through the acquisition of a further 40 trains. The total travel time from the terminus at the Puwan Zhenxing road to the train station in Dalian should be 90 minutes of which relate to the line 10 36 minutes.
