The Changsha Maglev Express (simplified Chinese: 长沙磁浮快线; traditional Chinese: 長沙磁浮快線; pinyin: Chángshā cífú kuàixiàn), also known as Line S2,[4] is a medium-low speed magnetic levitation, or maglev line in Changsha, China. This is China's second maglev line, after Shanghai Maglev, and the first domestically built maglev line, which uses indigenous technology.[5] The line stretches over 18.55 kilometers (11.53 mi) and runs between Changsha Huanghua International Airport, Langli station and the high-speed railway station Changsha South railway station.[6]
The original rolling stock was designed for a speed of up to 120 km/h (75 mph) but operated with a maximum speed of 100 km/h (62 mph).[3] In July 2021 the new model entered service operating at a top speed of 140 km/h (87 mph), which reduced the travel time by three minutes.[7]
