Heavy fog caused a large number of passengers stranded in Fangshan line.
Yesterday morning rush hour in Beijing caused most of the high-speed roads in the city to be closed, and many motorists switched to public transport, resulting in an increase in subway passenger flow. Because of the heavy fog, the Fangshan line on the ground runs at a reduced speed, resulting in a large number of passengers gathering. Some passengers reported that they waited for about an hour on Fangshan Line and were late for work. Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from the Beijing Subway Company that in order to alleviate the pressure of early peak passenger flow, nine trains were added to Fangshan Line, and empty cars were added at the fenced house station with more passenger flow. At 9 o’clock in the morning, the subway operation order gradually returned to normal.
Yesterday morning rush hour was affected by heavy fog, and Beijing morning rush hour traffic was seriously affected. Because of the fog, the ground line Fangshan line runs at a reduced speed. Some passengers reported that the subway Changyang Station and Fenlifang Station were slow to enter the station. A number of passengers reported that it was about an hour late for the stop-in current limit and speed-down operation.
Due to the current restriction measures taken by some stations, the subway has prepared delay instructions for passengers, and the stations requested by passengers have actively distributed them to passengers. In the Guogongzhuang station area, nearly 200 delay instructions have been distributed to passengers in need.
Zhao Xincun, head of the sub-station of Fangshan Line, said that yesterday’s fog directly affected the operation of the first bus, and the first bus took measures to slow down, but the passenger flow at that time was not large and no people gathered. By 7 o’clock, the number of passengers entering the station became larger, and with the slow operation, passengers began to gather. At 7: 30, Changyang Station, Fenlifang Station, daotian station and others began to restrict the flow in order to prevent potential safety hazards such as trampling in large passenger flow.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that during the morning rush hour, the station applied to the dispatching station to increase the demand for passengers, and a total of 10 trains were added up and down the dispatching station to alleviate the current restriction measures. Among them, in view of the phenomenon that there are many passengers stranded in Changyang Station, a train of emptying passengers is added, which reduces the time of flow restriction and speeds up the speed of passengers entering the station. "The empty car is the most powerful measure, which is equivalent to the car starting from the fence house station and soon sending away more than a thousand people stranded."
Why is there a gathering of passengers on Fangshan Line? The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that Dujiakan, the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, was closed to the city boundary in the morning peak yesterday, and there were "parallel lines" between the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway and several stations on the Fangshan Line of the subway, which affected the two major traffic lines. At the same time, the high-speed road closure has caused many motorists to move to the subway, and the subway passenger flow has obviously climbed as before.
At the same time, the highway was closed yesterday, which also affected the ground bus. According to the introduction of the bus group, as of 10: 45 yesterday, there were 26 detours and 5 stops.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that in extreme weather, if there is a large passenger flow gathering in the subway, the transportation authorities will arrange road bus support to evacuate the large passenger flow.
aviation
The visibility of the four airports is only 50 meters.
Affected by heavy fog, flights were delayed at several airports in North China yesterday morning. Shijiazhuang, Tianjin and Zhengzhou airports have been plagued by freezing fog, and the visibility was once only 50 meters. As a result, the traffic capacity of the above airports has been reduced by at least 50%.
As of 16: 53 yesterday afternoon, the Capital Airport had carried out 1022 flights and cancelled 101 flights, and the capacity of the Capital Airport decreased by about 30% in the morning.
In addition, due to the strong smog weather in Nancheng, Beijing, the visibility of Nanyuan Airport was as low as 50 meters yesterday morning, resulting in no aircraft taking off and landing at Nanyuan Airport throughout the morning. As of 17: 00 yesterday afternoon, Nanyuan cancelled 56 flights.
As of press time, the visibility of the Capital Airport is estimated to be about 800 meters from midnight yesterday to this morning. The flight delay this morning is still not optimistic.
Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport, which was seriously affected by heavy fog, was once unable to take off and land normally. The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned from passengers that some passengers have been waiting at the airport for more than 10 hours. Passenger Xiao Wu told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that due to the heavy fog, the flight was cancelled and he had to refund his ticket and travel by high-speed train. It is reported that as of 18: 30 pm, Zhengzhou Xinzheng Airport has only 4 flights.
On the afternoon of the 4th, the reporter of Beiqing Daily called a number of airlines. The customer service staff of the airlines said that due to the weather, the six cities with the most flight cancellations and delays were Beijing, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Qingdao, Jinan and Shijiazhuang, which had a heavy impact. Jinan, Zhengzhou, Beijing Nanyuan and other airports had no flights at all in the morning.

The railway responded that "many high-speed trains became dirty in foggy days"
There are multiple factors in the dirtiness of the car body, and smog will aggravate the degree of dirtiness.
Recently, netizens exposed a number of pictures of high-speed rail after crossing the smog, which triggered a hot discussion on the Internet. On the afternoon of January 3, Beijing Youth Daily reporter saw at Beijing South Railway Station that several stopped high-speed trains had different degrees of dust on their body skins. In this regard, the staff of the railway department said that the arrival of smog will indeed aggravate the dirtiness of the car body, but there are also other factors.
Net exposure: smog continues to appear "discoloration" of high-speed trains.
On January 2, an online article entitled "This is a high-speed train passing through the smog area" said that a high-speed train from Shanghai to Beijing South Railway Station was not washed by rain after passing through all the heavy smog areas in East China and North China, and the dust was all over the car body.
On the 4th, some netizens said that the high-speed train from Xuzhou to Beijing turned "golden" after reaching its destination. The netizen described to the reporter of Beiqing Daily, "Like smog, the whole body is very dirty, but it does not rule out that the number of train cleaning is reduced because of the bad weather."
On the afternoon of the 3rd, Beijing Youth Daily reporter came to Beijing South Railway Station and saw a G161 train from Beijing Nankai to Anqing. There was dust on the outside of the car body, especially at the top, but it was not as serious as the train from Shanghai to Beijing. At the same time, there are different degrees of dust in the car bodies of several trains parked nearby.
Railway: Smog will aggravate the dirtiness of the car body
Is smog really the "initiator" of dust outside the high-speed rail body? In this regard, a staff member of the railway department told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that there is a certain relationship between car body dust and smog, and the appearance of smog will indeed aggravate the degree of car body dirty. However, the situation of different trains is different, which is related to speed, distance, driving time and driving direction. Fog and haze are heavy these days, and the car body will be dirtier.
For example, the staff said that the cleanliness of the outer skin of the Beijing-Tianjin intercity train was better than that of other trains on a smoggy day, mainly because of the short journey. All the trains between Beijing and Tianjin have always been scrubbed on the platform after arriving at Beijing South Railway Station to ensure that the trains leaving Beijing South Railway Station are clean. Under normal circumstances, some long-distance trains drive thousands of kilometers, which may also lead to dirty bodies due to the comprehensive factors such as weather and speed on the way. When the smog is serious, it will indeed aggravate the degree of dirty car body. In addition, the staff of the railway department also said that in general, in the morning and evening, the fog is relatively large and the relative dirty degree will be more serious.
A ground mechanic in the Beijing EMU section of Beijing Railway Bureau told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the EMU is divided into eight groups and sixteen groups. Whenever the EMU arrives at the station after completing the mission of the day, a special person will send it to each moving garage, and each cleaner will be responsible for the cleaning of two or three cars. "Generally, it takes about 30 minutes to clean once, but this smog really makes cleaning more difficult and takes more time."
According to a staff member of Beijing South Railway Station, at present, all the buses that arrive at Beijing South Railway Station (they will leave for a new destination ten minutes after arrival) are wiped by special personnel before driving, so that the trains can get on the road cleanly. At the same time, the EMU trains that return to the garage for maintenance every day should also be cleaned. On days with severe smog, the railway department will send extra personnel to clean and wipe all sensitive parts of the train to ensure the safety of train operation.
Expert: If the distance is long, pollutants are easy to attach to the car body and produce traces.
Ma Jun, director of Beijing Public Environmental Research Center, said in an interview with Beiqing Daily that haze is actually an aerosol, and its pollutants are easily attached to the car body after absorbing water vapor and expanding. The recent smog is not only "high haze", but also "high humidity". In the high humidity state, if the train travels a long distance and passes through a severe smog area, pollutants will be attached to the car body, which will produce pollution traces. "It can basically be confirmed that it is caused by smog, but there is a premise for this statement." The premise mentioned by Director Ma means that the train has been cleaned regularly. If it has not been cleaned for a long time, it cannot be proved that the dust is caused by smog.
