Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway reaches 350 km per hour during joint commissioning, testing​

JAKARTA, June 22 -- The comprehensive inspection train (CIT) of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway (HSR) reached 350 km per hour, the design speed, for the first time on Thursday during the joint commissioning and testing phase.

The incremental speed tests have been conducted since the start of joint commissioning and testing on May 22. The comprehensive inspection train gradually increased its speed from 180 km per hour to the design speed of 350 km per hour, fully validating the functionality and performance of various systems of the railway, including track, power supply, overhead catenary system, communication, signaling, and early warning monitoring.

Based on the test results so far, these systems have met the design requirements, which provide strong support for subsequent operation trials and opening for service.
The speed of the test drives needs to be increased to 110 percent of the line's design speed, which is 385 km per hour, in accordance with the requirements of the joint testing and commissioning outline.

Personnel from China and Indonesia have closely collaborated in order to prepare for the official commencement of operation since the end of February this year. The Chinese side has provided professional training to Indonesian students in high-speed rail operation positions, including train drivers, train mechanics, and operation control center dispatchers to provide talent and technical support for the high-quality opening of the railway.

The high-speed line is a landmark project under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative, which connects Indonesia's capital Jakarta and another major city Bandung.

With a design speed of 350 km per hour, the railway spanning 142.3 km will cut the journey between Jakarta and Bandung from over three hours to around 40 minutes. ■

It's India's problem or Japan's ? The India and Indonesia's HSR started construction at about the same time. Now one is finished and the other still has barely started.

 

[Olympus81]

Congratulations Indonesia.

Similar HSR is being built in Thailand.

Laos has already gone online.

The Chinese media made a mistake, Bandung is not in Central Java, but West Java, a province bordering Jakarta.

It's India's problem or Japan's ? The India and Indonesia's HSR started construction at about the same time. Now one is finished and the other still has barely started.

Nope Indonesian line construction started in 2016, while Indian line was started in 2021.

Indonesian line length: 145km only
Indian line length: 508km


Indonesian line cost for 145km: $7.5 billion
Indian line cost for 508 km: $14 billion (estimated)

Other than that the loan terms for the project are very easy for us, but maybe not so easy for Indonesia.

The high proportion of the loan from CDB in the funding for the HSR project’s cost overrun risks Indonesia’s ownership over KCIC, since the country may opt to reduce its stake in the HSR project to pay off the loan. If that happens, Indonesia would be handing control of a critical infrastructure to a foreign party, raising questions over its infrastructure-development goals.

Bandung to Jakarta, Highway (2 hours)

Jakarta-Bandung train

 

[Indos]

Bandung has lot of tourism spot, I do hope with this HSR system then there will be more foreign and domestic tourist arrivals for Jakarta-Bandung tourist package. 1 week tourist package for 3 days in Jakarta and 4 days in Bandung will be really recommended.

Some of tourist spots in Bandung

Lot of food in the city

3 days in Jakarta :

Day One: City Center/Business District, Mall, Street food, GBK sport center (Central Jakarta)
Day Two: TMII Public Park (East Jakarta), Food hunting, Mall in South Jakarta.
Day Three: Monas Park, Batavia/Old City (Central-West Jakarta)

Indian line cost for 508 km: $14 billion (estimated)

That was way back during project initialisation. Now estimate has ballooned towards 2 Lac crore, roughly $25 billion. We all know this will increase further as time goes by.
