On December 11, the G8483 Fuxing EMU (Electric Multiple Units) being tested slowly departed from Shantou Railway Station, traveling along the Shantou-Shanwei High-Speed Railway towards Shantou South Railway Station. This event marked the entry of the Shantou-Shantou South Section of the Shantou-Shanwei High-speed Railway  into the timetable-based operation test stage, signaling that the full line's opening and operation entered the "final countdown".

The Shantou-Shanwei High-speed Railway starts from Shantou Railway Station and ends at Shanwei Railway Station, with a main track length of 162 kilometers. Among them, the Shanwei-Shantou South Section was already opened for operation in December 2023. The Shantou-Shantou South Section passed its preliminary acceptance inspection on December 8 of this year, and all tests in the joint commissioning and testing phase have now been completed, making it ready for the trial operation stage.

As the first high-speed railway in eastern Guangdong designed for speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour, the Shantou–Shanwei High-speed Railway will be fully connected once the Shantou South–Shantou Section opens. This will significantly shorten the distance and travel time between regions and provide a strong boost to the accelerated integration of eastern Guangdong into the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macau Greater Bay.

汕汕高铁全线开通进入“倒计时”

　　12月11日，G8483次复兴号试验动车组从汕头站缓缓驶出，沿着汕汕高铁驶向汕头南站，标志着汕汕高铁汕头至汕头南段进入按图行车试验阶段，全线开通运营进入最后“倒计时”。

　　汕汕高铁起自汕头站，终至汕尾站，正线全长162公里。其中，汕尾至汕头南段已于2023年12月开通运营；汕头至汕头南段于今年12月8日通过初步验收，目前联调联试阶段的各项试验内容已全部完成，具备进入试运行阶段的条件。

　　作为粤东地区首条设计时速350公里的高速铁路，汕汕高铁汕头南至汕头段开通后，将实现全线贯通，大幅缩短区域时空距离，为粤东加速融入粤港澳大湾区注入强劲动能。
