Abstract: With the development of China's railway network, the level of urban accessibility received a significant boost and the compression effect of regional time-space became further highlight.The study based on the data of the railway train schedules in 2009 and 2014, prefecture-level cities in China as the study object, combined with the traditional method of mathematical statistics and spatial analysis method, analysis the accessibility of prefecture-level cities and its types in China. Results show that:(1) The number and type of passenger rail transport have great changes, especially originating trains and bullet train have a greatly increased and the opening of the high-speed operation due to the accessibility of cities improved to a certain extent, but the city accessibility to improve regional difference significantly. (2) three core cities(Beijing、Shanghai and Guangzhou) in urban accessibility rating system established the first level, the traffic condition of differences caused the city accessibility rating system change. (3) The absolute and relative gap between Chinese urban accessibility are showing a growing trend, the number of train had a significantly effect of polarization and the new increase of the passenger and more on high-grade center city agglomeration, the construction of the railway infrastructure is reshaping China productivity pattern. (4) From the perspective of urban function and size attribute to dock originating trains and train the median as the critical value, the Chinese city is divided into four types including high scale and high function, high scale but low function, low scale but high function, low scale and low function. Analysis the distribution characteristics and the reason of city. The improvement of the railway traffic network is becoming more and more important, this study provides significance guiding for reasonable allocation of railway passenger transportation and layout of transportation network based on the railway passenger transport between urban traffic accessibility and spatial pattern of evolution.

Key words: passenger rail transport, accessibility, city type, Chinese city
