    Line S5[1] is a planned rapid transit line connecting Nanjing and Yangzhou. It will be 57.61 kilometres (35.80 mi) long and have a maximum operating speed of 160 kilometres per hour (99 mph).[2] Initially 4 car Type A trains will be used but the line is designed for expansion to 6 car trains in the future. The line will have passing loops at select stations allowing for express and local services to be offered.[3][4] Local services are expected to take 45 minutes to run end to end and express services will shorten end to end travel times to 34 minutes.[2] Construction started on December 28, 2021.[5] The line is planned to open in 2026.[2]
