How it works (view the movie - in mandarin though!):
1. For those who are boarding the train : The passengers at a station embarks onto to a connector cabin way before the train even arrives at the station. When the train arrives, it will not stop at all. It just slows down to pick up the connector cabin which will move with the train on the roof of the train.
While the train is still moving away from the station, those passengers will board the train from the connector cabin mounted on the train's roof. After fully unloading all its passengers, the cabin connector cabin will be moved to the back of the train so that the next batch of outgoing passengers who want to alight at the next station will board the connector cabin at the rear of the train roof.
2. For those who are getting off: As stated after fully unloading all its passengers, the cabin connector cabin will be moved to the back of the train so that the next batch of outgoing passengers who want to alight at the next station will board the connector cabin at the rear of the train roof. When the train arrives at the next station, it will simply drop the whole connector cabin at the station itself and leave it behind at the station. The outgoing passengers can take their own time to disembark at the station while the train had already left. At the same time, the train will pick up the incoming embarking passengers on another connector cabin in the front part of the train's roof. So the train will always drop one connector cabin at the rear of its roof and pick up a new connector cabin in the front part of the train's roof at each station.

Well the idea is there but i hope only for lines which doesn't go under bridges or tunnels. Otherwise it won't be pretty.

Im quite impressed that they went thinking about energy and waste all of a sudden.
They got alot to cover up to before 2020, they Co2 waste is kinda big now.
It makes me happy they made this :)

The chinese quaility of productions equals to 210% of americans,danish, germany and italy's standard quality.
ISO is a bad standart to product with ..
GPS will certainly make other countries more quality friendly.
When americans get gps they can make such trains without making em vibrate and uncomfortable to ride ..
futhermore, you will be amazed by chineese engineering and contructions if this was only the first example you have seen.

@HTUK2007 The costs can expectedly be covered by the amount of energy saved, since the train won't have to speed up so many times.

what if the first train doesnt get a good start and the second one smacks into it? the main train certainly wont be able to stop in time. looks like a good idea though. When is America going to get a super sweet fast train system?

So the passengers have to duck down to get under the doors of the upper train ?
