On the morning of October 8, as the 56101 cold-slipping testing train slowly exited from Shantou South Railway Station, the cold-slip testing of the overhead contact system of Shantou-Shanwei High-speed Railway was started, which would provide a strong guarantee for power transmission of the overhead contact system, thermal-slipping testing, and joint commissioning and joint testing at the next stage, to ensure high standards, high quality, and efficient opening and operation of Shantou-Shanwei High-speed Railway before the end of this year.

After Shantou-Shanwei High-speed Railway is completed and opened to traffic, the "Half-hour Commuting Circle" of the central cities in the Shantou-Chaozhou-Jieyang region and the "One-hour Traffic Circle" in eastern Guangdong will become a reality. In addition, Shantou-Shanwei High-speed Railway will be connected with Shantou-Zhangzhou High-speed Railway, forming a new north-south high-capacity passenger transport channel among the Pearl River Delta, Haixi Economic Zone, and Yangtze River Delta, to fill the gap in the layout without any high-speed railway at speed of 350 kilometers per hour along the coast over-one-thousand-kilometer longitudinal passage.

　　汕汕铁路接触网工程冷滑试验开启

　　10月8日上午，随着 56101 次冷滑试验车从汕头南站缓缓驶出，汕汕铁路接触网工程冷滑试验正式开启，为下一阶段接触网送电、热滑试验和联调联试提供了有力保障，确保年内高标准、高质量、高效率开通运营。

　　汕汕铁路建成通车后，汕潮揭地区中心城市“半小时通勤圈”和粤东地区“1小时交通圈”成为现实，并将与汕漳高铁连接，在珠三角、海西、长三角之间构筑起一条新的南北向大能力客运通道，填补沿海通道纵向千余公里无时速350公里高铁布局的空白。
