The train that never stops at a station YET PASSENGERS GET OFF.

A new Chinese train innovation - How to get on & off the bullet train without stopping.

No time is wasted. The bullet train is moving all the time. If there
are 30 stations between Beijing and Guangzhou, just stopping and
accelerating again at each station will waste both energy and time.
A mere 5 min stop per station (elderly passengers cannot be hurried)
will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30 stations or 2.5 hours of
train journey time!
The Chinese are innovative enough to come up with a non-stopping train
concept. When the train arrives at a station, it will not stop at all.
The passenger at a station embarked onto to a connector cabin way
before the train even arrive 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 travelling 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.
When the train arrives at the next station, it simply drops the
whole connector cabin at the station itself and leaves 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.
