High-speed trains on the Shanghai to Baoying route typically offer Second Class and First Class seating, with some G-series services also providing Business Class on the Shanghai–Nanjing leg. The fastest itineraries use G-series Fuxing trains on the Shanghai–Nanjing High-Speed Railway at up to 350 km/h (217 mph) before continuing on the Lianyungang–Zhenjiang high-speed line, which is capped at 250 km/h (155 mph). These trips usually involve one change at Nanjing South or Zhenjiang South and take roughly 3 hours to 3 hours 20 minutes, with limited stops such as Nanjing South and Yangzhou East. In comparison, D-series high-speed services (often CRH2/CRH380 sets) run at up to 250 km/h (155 mph) throughout and make more intermediate stops, so the journey typically takes around 3.5 to 4 hours. Both options feature modern amenities like power outlets and refreshments. Travelers prioritizing the quickest arrival should choose the G-series combination, while D-series trains suit those looking for broader station coverage at a slightly lower fare. For extra space, Business Class (where available) provides 2+1 seating.
