Can Someone Upload A logo From Google for The Guangzhou Metro Search by putting it Logo Of the Guangzhou Metro Thanks. Trulystand700 Trulystand700

Line 1[edit]

Is there any particular reason Line 1 merits its own article rather than just a section of this one? Quantumobserver (talk) 21:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guangzhou metro station count[edit]

If this is to be changed from 80 can a source be found to back it up? Thanks. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 17:16, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe 88 comes from double counting interchange stations. No source can ever back that up. Kxx (talk | contribs) 19:55, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah that makes sense, but I'd expect there to be some sort of media source giving the 88 station count. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 20:02, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a system map published by GZMTR Corp. I don't count 88 stations on it and I don't think there is anything more official than this. Kxx (talk | contribs) 20:10, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Some time ago I requested the WP:Graphics Lab to vectorize GZMTR's ram-shaped logo, which came back with text additionally included. Later the text was removed. I spent some time observing use of the logo in various stations. Almost always does text accompany the "ram"—it appears in significant places like station exits as well as less important places like temporary fences. It seems to me that the with-text logo is the way GZMTR identifies itself. Therefore I propose that removal of text from the logo be reverted. Kxx (talk | contribs) 09:48, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Guangzhu line unlikely part of Guangzhou Metro[edit]

Guangzhu line is basically an intercity commuter service. It is more like regular trains than metro. I was unable to dig out who will run it through Google News though; yet nor did I find any words that Guangzhou Metro will run it. Probably its only connection with Guangzhou Metro is convenient transfer at Guangzhou South Railway Station. If no sources can be found, it should be removed from the article to avoid confusion.

Sounds fine by me. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 11:41, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Extensions to Lines 2, 4 and 8 to open soon[edit]

Line 2 will pause operation Sep 22–24 and resume on Sep 25, when it will follow the new route. Line 8 will also officially open on Sep 25, but the new three stations to the west of Changgang Station will not open until dispute surrounding placement of a cooling station for the newly constructed segment is settled (the incident once escalated in Aug to a point that riot police were deployed to quench the conflict). Extension to Line 4 will open on the same day. Kxx (talk | contribs) 20:32, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Phases of Guangzhou Metro lines[edit]

The phase numbers in the Time table section are quite arbitrary and some are simply wrong or misused. In case future edits run into the same problem, it is worth clarifying the assignment of phase numbers.

Sections of a line opening at different times do not necessarily belong to different phases. A prime example would be Guang-Fo Line, whose whole section from Kuiqi Lu to Lijiao constitutes its phase 1. The Kuiqi Lu–Xilang is known as the 首通段, or literally first-operational section, while the Xilang–Lijiao section is known as the 后通段, or literally later-operational section. The real phase 2 of Guang-Fo Line is a southwards extension from Kuiqi Lu to Xiaocong, which in some reports is also expected to open in 2012. Conversely, different phases of a line do not necessarily open at different times. For instance, phases 1 and 2 of Line 6 are expected to open at the same time.

Some lines are not divided into phases, such as Line 1. Some lines have extensions but not phases. For example, the Guangzhou East Railway Station–Airport South section is the north extension of Line 3. Some lines even mix phases and extensions: Line 6 has two phases (Xunfenggang–Changban and Changban–Xiangxue) and an east extension (Xiangxue–Yonghe); Line 8 itself has no phases, but its north extension from Fenghuang Xincun to Baiyun Lake is divided into two phases at Culture Park.

In sum, there are no general patterns in assigning phase numbers to sections of the lines. The only way to get everything right is to stick to the sources and handle each line on a case-by-case basis. Kxx (talk | contribs) 10:11, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  • http://www.railway-technology.com/projects/guangzhou/
    Triggered by \brailway-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 10:34, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:12, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

THZ1[edit]

Hey Wikipedians, someone needs to put the operating tram (THZ1) within the Currently Operating section as it has now joined into the metro system, with its services showing up in the official map and app. Thanks! omegshi147 • talk 02:03, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maximum trains per hour[edit]

Hi, I am doing a project on subway systems around the world, and need to know what the greatest frequency of service on the Guangzhou Metro is, in terms of frequency. I have read one article from 2015 that says that Line 3 ran every 2 minutes and 20 seconds. Do any of you know whether any line runs more frequently than 2 minutes and 20 seconds, and if so, could you let me know? Thanks so much.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 15:32, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Kew Gardens 613: I'm not sure, but a quick YouTube search indicates that the train frequency on Line 3 is still about two minutes during peak hours. The line has only had one short extension since 2015 and has not been re-signalled or automated, so I would assume that the figure is still accurate. The Chinese Wikipedia article for Line 3 does not mention any train frequencies for the two main service patterns, although the Line 1 article mentions a peak frequency of 2 minutes and 48 seconds (the figures are unsourced). Jc86035 (talk) 16:52, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jc86035: Thanks so much for your help. I have a few more questions that you might know the answer to. The ridership figure given for the Guangzhou Metro is 257. Does this count transfer stations individually or as one complex? Do you by any chance know the greatest frequency is for the Shanghai Metro (I saw something say every 2 minutes) or the lengths and widths of the train cars in use on the Beijing Subway. Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 19:07, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kew Gardens 613: I'm not sure about the first two (I would have to research those). The Beijing Subway uses several different types of rolling stock, and the Chinese Wikipedia articles should all be linked in this navbox (the top half of the navbox comprises the trains currently in use, and the bottom half comprises retired trains). As usual, though, all the infobox statistics appear to be unsourced. Jc86035 (talk) 07:05, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Combined Metro and China Railway stations[edit]

Guangzhou South railway station and some other station articles exist which cover both the CRH/China Railway station and the Guangzhou Metro station. Following this convention should Guanqiao station and Hanxi Changlong station be moved to "Guanqiao railway station" and "Changlong railway station" to match the upcoming CRH station names? The latter example complicates things as the metro station name differs from the planned railway station name. NemesisAT (talk) 16:45, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stations being turned into redirects[edit]

I came across some railway station articles that were converted into redirects by @Onel5969:. These are Mali station, Taiping station, Shengang station, Chicao station, and Conghua Coach Terminal station. Zhuliao station was the same, however, I restored that one and added a couple of sources. In their current state, they are lacking sources, but think there are enough sources available online for all of these articles to be restored. After restoring Zhuliao I read Wikipedia:ATD-R which suggests I start a discussion on these articles before restoring. Please share your thoughts. Thanks, NemesisAT (talk) 21:43, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NemesisAT, hi. I have no problem with restoring articles, as long as the sources pass verify. Thanks for providing the 2 extra sources. The issue is still that the layout and exits are still unsourced, so they don't meet WP:VERIFY. If those get sources (or the info is removed), I'd mark them "reviewed". Onel5969 TT me 21:48, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Onel5969, thanks for this and sorry, my rather blunt edit summary at Zhuliao station was prior to reading WP:ATD-R. I should have dug a bit deeper to check the policy before recreating the article. Regarding station layouts and exits, up until now I have left those alone. However, there was consensus at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Trains/Archive:_2019#RfC_about_station_layouts_and_exits to remove these entirely, so from now on I'll actively remove the station exit information.
