あの男が、帰ってきた ~That guy came back~ 下

This will be the page of lines pending to open, either already under test runs or with constructions completed, either way opening within this year for sure. One can say that it's not surprising at all that anyone of these makes an official announcement today.
Now, shall we take a look?

Currently under test runs (since March). Some speculate the 30th.

Shenzhen is planning to open two sections this year. Both are now under test runs, with an estimated opening date around September.

Planned to be opened by the end of this month.

Constructions near completion as of May. Opening within 2019.

Line 10 in Shenyang. This is quite an awkward line, as everything except for the depot is ready but has to keep shut for the rest of this year... In the worst case we might have to celebrate its birthday next year...

Suzhou: Constructions completed, expected in December

Kunming: Tunnels completed, expected in December if smooth

New members in the metro club: two cities from the Jiangsu Province, Xu- and Changzhou. Is Jiangsu aiming for a metro system in each of its city?

And now comes the Big Three.

Beijing: No new lines apart from the New Airport line. Batong line and line 7 will form a closed knot at the terminus.

Shanghai: A disgraceful year for Shanghai as no new lines are opening... perhaps except for an expansion of the Songjiang Tram system.

Guangzhou: Finishing off its business with line 21. Opening real soon.

... and more to come.

Afterwords

Of the past four month, it impales me at the thought of not being able to provide you, my dearest readers, with accurate, exclusive news of the development of urban rail systems in China. Thus, I beg hereby your understanding and appreciate your patience. It was truly the worst time of my short life, with no Internet access and, therefore, no means of transmission. But now, after all the sombre days, light has shone through the clouds and surrounding me. I turn back and come to realise that I wasn't alone and that we'll share our thoughts while accompanying each other throughout our lives. Thank you all for being a part of my life!

So, that's the most elegant comeback of "that guy". Hopefully he'll never leave us again. Remember to join me in the next issue!
