High-speed services connect Shanghai Hongqiao with Huangmei East (Huangmeidong) in Hubei via the Shanghai–Nanjing–Hefei–Anqing–Jiujiang corridor. The fastest option is the G-series Fuxing high-speed train (CR400/CRH380), reaching up to 350 km/h (217 mph) on the Shanghai–Nanjing and Nanjing–Hefei sections, with other stretches typically running at 250–300 km/h (155–186 mph). Limited-stop G trains usually call at major hubs such as Nanjing South, Hefei South, and Anqing West, completing the journey in about 3 h 20 m to 4 h. Seating on most G services includes Second, First, and Business Class. By comparison, D-series Hexie high-speed trains operate at 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph), make more intermediate stops, and generally take around 4 h 30 m to 6 h to reach Huangmei East. These trains typically offer Second and First Class seating. Both G and D services are reserved-seat EMUs with air-conditioning, power outlets, and onboard trolley service. Travelers prioritizing the shortest time should choose the limited-stop G-series Fuxing, while D-series trains provide broader station coverage along the same route.
