must see! The new progress of Wenzhou North Railway Station has been exposed, can it replace South Railway Station as the first choice for travel?

PART.01


Wenzhou North Railway Station finally took a crucial step!


In the early hours of this morning, the demolition work of at Yongjia Station on the high-speed railway was in full swing, and Wenzhou North Station on the Hangzhou-Wenzhou Railway ushered in new progress. The



project executive manager dictated that the project department plans to complete the demolition of Yongjia Station by the end of May, when the construction of the Wenzhou North Station of the Hangzhou-Wenzhou Railway will enter a new chapter. (Information comes from Yongjia, China)


It is worth mentioning that Yongjia Station belongs to elevated station (elevated station is a railway whose platform and other station facilities are all erected on elevated structures with a certain height difference from the ground Station .) , ​​the demolition of high-speed rail elevated stations is the first time in China.


In recent years, Wenzhou North Railway Station has been making steady progress.


In the 2016 "Municipal Government Work Report", Wenzhou North Railway Station High-speed Railway New City was first proposed.


In April 2018, the municipal government issued the "Reply on Matters Concerning the Development and Utilization of the Core Area of ​​the High-speed Railway New Town at Wenzhou North Station of the Hangzhou-Wenzhou High-speed Railway".


From September 15, 2021, all passenger loading and unloading services at Yongjia Station will be suspended, and reconstruction and expansion will start. And in late November, of Yongjia Station (Wenzhou North Station) completed the construction drawing review.


According to the "Wenzhou 14th Five-Year Plan List", Wenzhou North Railway Station is about 3 years away from completion.


Under the expectations of everyone, what impact will the Wenzhou North Station of the Hangzhou-Wenzhou High-speed Railway bring after its completion?


With the construction of transportation infrastructure supporting facilities such as Jinshui Road, Zhannan Avenue, and Wenzhou North Station Interchange, the location advantage of Wenzhou North Station will be further highlighted. In the future, it takes 5 minutes to reach Wenzhou the main urban area (Jiangbin Road) , ​​15 minutes to the administrative center of the city, 25 minutes to Wenzhou Airport , and 65 minutes to Hangzhou. (data comes from released by Wenzhou)


can draw a very straightforward conclusion: Hangzhou-Wenzhou high-speed railway will include Wenzhou in the "provincial one-hour traffic circle" .



PART.02


As a key high-speed railway construction project in Zhejiang Province, the status of Hangzhou-Wenzhou-Wenzhou-Wenzhou High-speed Railway is quite prominent.


Hangzhou-Wenzhou high-speed railway starts from Hangzhou West Railway Station and ends at Wenzhou South Railway Station . The total length is about 315 kilometers, the design speed is about 350 kilometers per hour, and the total investment of the project is about 39 billion yuan. Jinhua - Yiwu zThe fastest channel to reach the 4z metropolitan area and the Wenzhou metropolitan area within 1 hour. (data source: Baidu Encyclopedia)


The newly-built Wenzhou North Railway Station is naturally expected to be built with high specifications. Propaganda replaced the South Railway Station as "the first choice for Wenzhou tourists going north".


The picture is from Yongjia, China.

, ​​let’s compare it with North Station K.


First of all, in terms of construction age and quality, The new Wenzhou North Railway Station in 2022 will most likely outperform the Wenzhou South Railway Station that started construction in 2008.


In the architectural design, the overall shape is inspired by the spatial form of the local Lishui Old Street in Yongjia. The simple streamlined shape is a metaphor for the local landscape culture, and at the same time it has a sense of modern technology.

其次,相比于温州南站的“4台10线”,温州北站“5台13线”的规模也略微胜出。


But Wenzhou North Railway Station wants to replace South Railway Station as "the first choice for Wenzhou tourists going north". The most important point is whether the "traffic" is convenient. After all, everyone comes to take a bus, not to go sightseeing.


If you don’t talk about the light rail and subway, you only care about whether it is convenient to drive. Compared to South Railway Station, Wenzhou North Railway Station can not only radiate Yongjia County, but also better radiate Wenzhou’s most prosperous Lucheng District than South Railway Station.


The picture comes from the Internet


Looking back at Wenzhou South Railway Station, although it is located in the west, it is still in the urban area. A traffic artery, radiating the entire urban area from west to east.

仅以私家车出行来讲,可以说两方各有胜负,但驾车去坐高铁并非最好的出行方式。


Driving by yourself, the problem of parking cannot be solved; driving by family members is also time-consuming, laborious and fuel-intensive; taxis are convenient, but your wallet will bleed.


Therefore, Take the light rail or subway to take the high-speed rail, which is a better way to travel.

light rail travel


starts from Huimin Station of Line s1 and ends at Wenzhou South Station. It takes more than 20 minutes to drive by yourself, and more than 40 yuan to take a taxi , ​​but it only costs five yuan to take the light rail, and the time required is only about 14 minutes . (From Gaode map , Didi Taxi, Wenzhou Railway APP)


In this regard, Wenzhou North Railway Station is completely at a disadvantage!


In previous articles, we mentioned that Wenzhou Metro M1 line has disappeared, and there is no light rail connection.


After the opening of the S3 line in 2026, Wenzhou South Station will be able to rely on the networked S1/S2/S3, "rolling" Wenzhou North Station in terms of rail transit convenience.


On the whole, the editor personally believes that under the background of the M1 line is basically hopeless, Wenzhou North Railway Station, which has lost the support of rail transit, cannot replace the South Railway Station as "the first choice for Wenzhou tourists going north".

The pilot planning unit extends to Zhanbei Avenue-Jinchi South Road in the north, Jintian Road in the west, Zhannan Avenue in the south, and Huanjiang Road in the east, with an area of ​​about 103.8 hectares. The estimated construction period is from 2020 to 2023.

So what is the prospect of Wenzhou North Railway Station high-speed rail new city?


In fact, in order to give full play to the advantages of high-speed rail to help urban development, many cities in China are building "high-speed rail new cities".


Compared with the successful case of , the first batch of Suzhou high-speed rail new city that started construction, we can find that the underlying logic of the high-speed rail new city is: 1. Attract more people; 2. Retain more people; 3. Residents Live and work in peace and contentment; 4. Diverse population integration; 5. Resident feedback and joint construction.


Can the Wenzhou North Railway Station High-speed Rail New City really emulate its successful case and plan its strategy?


Xiaobian personally thinks: there is a certain difficulty .


The first is the flow of people. The traffic disadvantage mentioned above will make the North Railway Station unable to become the first choice of passengers and face the dilemma of insufficient flow of people.


followed by residential population. Let’s look at a statistic: Suzhou High-speed Railway New Town’s population increased by about 40% year-on-year.

and the city of WenzhouMainly internal migration of local population, Wenzhou North Railway Station cannot expect a large-scale inflow of foreign population, and secondly, due to the disadvantage of lack of rail transit, its attraction to urban population is relatively weak.


Finally, there are issues of location and city energy levels.


The secret of the success of Suzhou High-speed Railway New City lies in the three major industries of "technology research and development, digital finance , and cultural creativity" to drive the development of business in the surrounding areas, and based on this, the introduction of Harmony Plaza, Wuyue Plaza , Landsea Azure Comprehensive commercial complexes such as squares and Yinshui Street will further develop cultural, sports, entertainment, medical and other facilities.


Wenzhou North Railway Station is located in the outer suburbs of Yongjia after all, unlike Oubei and Sanjiang, which are included in the overall urban planning, the city itself has a low energy level, the ability to attract investment is relatively weak, ​​and Sanjiang already has commercial attributes Under the premise, it is also difficult to get a share of the pie.

It can be seen that there are still some hidden worries in the development prospect of Wenzhou North Railway Station. I personally think that will be a good development for the construction of Wenzhou North Railway Station and the development of the subway in Jia M1. key point.
