Beijing railway lines
 
I hope this is the correct place to post this. I am hoping someone here is familiar with the Beijing railway system, which as far as I can ascertain is confusing.

Specifically, what I want to know is this. Is there a line into the centre of Beijing where the line runs relatively straight, with only gentle curves?

I am sorry to be asking what may be considered such a bizarre question but would appreciate any help

A very warm welcome to the forum!

I'm curious as to why you ask such a question? Is it for someone with a disability?

I presume there must be an official website for the Beijing rail service, with a customer services section who could help and advise you.

I believe we do have one or two Chinese members here. They might have first hand knowledge of the lines.

Thank you for your reply, I am researching for a book.

There is a line which runs South East of Central Beijing towards the coast.Looks straight enough with gentle bends.Easy to follow on Google Earth.
