High-speed G-series trains (Fuxing CR400AF/BF and CRH380A/B) link Shanghai Hongqiao with Anyang East via major hubs such as Nanjing South, Xuzhou East and Zhengzhou East. Operating speeds reach up to 350 km/h (217 mph) on the Shanghai–Nanjing–Xuzhou corridor and 300 km/h (186 mph) from Zhengzhou north toward Anyang East. Most itineraries involve a straightforward change at Zhengzhou East, with end-to-end travel times typically around 5 hours 30 minutes to 6 hours 30 minutes, depending on the specific connection and intermediate stops. Seating options include Second Class, First Class and Business Class, with power outlets, tray tables and trolley service; some trains also carry a dining car. Conventional Z/T services run between central Shanghai and Anyang (the conventional station), using the classic Beijing–Shanghai and Beijing–Guangzhou rail corridors. These trains top out around 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph) and usually take about 10 to 13 hours. Accommodation includes Hard Seat, Hard Sleeper and Soft Sleeper. Note that conventional services generally depart from Shanghai Railway Station (or Shanghai South on some schedules) and arrive at Anyang, while high-speed services use Shanghai Hongqiao and Anyang East. Travelers prioritizing the shortest duration typically choose the G-series option; overnight riders often pick the Z/T trains.
