Central Plains Metropolitan Region intercity railway

Central Plains Metropolitan Region intercity railway system is a network of 14 regional high-speed railways radiating or surrounding the city of Zhengzhou, Henan province, China. It is a plan for the gradual implementation of a regional rail system across the province. The system involves Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo, Xuchang, Pingdingshan, Luohe and Jiyuan, it aims to form a convenient, fast, safe and efficient intercity rail transportation network. In September 2009, the National Development and Reform Commission produced the "Central Plains Metropolitan Intercity Rail Transit Network Plan (2009–2020)", calling for the planning and construction of approximately 496 km of the total mileage across the regional high speed transit network. The vision is for greater transport opportunities and ultimately the formation of Zhengzhou as the urban centre, with Luoyang as a secondary urban centre, after connecting the major urban areas in the Central Plains urban agglomeration.

Route planning

Based on "Central Plains Metropolitan Intercity Rail Transit Network Plan (2009–2020)", the Central Plains Metropolitan intercity railway construction includes separate railways Zhengzhou–Jiaozuo, Zhengzhou–Kaifeng, Zhengzhou–Luoyang, Zhengzhou–Xinzheng Airport–Xuchang–Pingdingshan, and Zhengzhou–Xinxiang.
