High-speed Chinese rail services were first introduced in 2007 and operated with existing CRH (China Railways) rolling stock running on existing lines which had been upgraded for speeds of up to 250 km/h (160 mph) and on newer dedicated high-speed track rated up to 350 km/h (220 mph).

The CRH1A includes the CTCS-3 Cab signalling system. Supplied with the route is the CRH1A EMU (Electro Motive Unit) that is designed for commuter use and is capable of running at 250 km/h (155 mph) but in normal service runs at 220 km/h (137 mph). The route is equipped with the CTCS-3 (China Train Control System) signalling system so that both 350 km/h and 250 km/h capable trains can run on it. The route is 146km in length, and trains on the route are capable of running at 350 km/h. The CRH380D has been developed for and interacts with the speed and signalling system included in the Chengdu - Suining High Speed Route, a modern dedicated high speed passenger route in Southwest China. It can be driven manually or by using the on-board computers which mean you need to do little more than adjust the cruise control to comply with the speed limits between your departure and destination stations.

It uses state-of-the-art flat-screen glass panels to display train information as well as the route speed and signal data from suitably equipped routes. The CRH380D is the newest generation of Chinese high speed train, capable of running at 380km/h and one of the fastest production trains in the world.
