"If everything goes well, all the recalled trains will resume service by 6 December," the official said.
The state-owned China CNR Corp, which built the trains, recalled 54 trains on 12 August, all CRH 380BL models, for investigation following the accident in July on the Yongtaiwen railway that killed 40 people and injuring 192.
Before the recall China CNR Corp had suspended the delivery of its CRH 380BL bullet trains, saying there were faults in their automatic braking systems.
