High-speed G-series Fuxing trains link Shanghai and Changzhou via the Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway and the Shanghai–Nanjing Intercity Railway. The fastest CR400AF/BF sets run at 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph) and cover the roughly 175 km in about 35–55 minutes, depending on stops at hubs such as Suzhou and Wuxi. Departures are frequent from Shanghai Hongqiao, arriving at Changzhou North or Changzhou. Seating includes Second Class, First Class, and a premium Business Class, with power outlets, seat-back tables, and Wi‑Fi available on many trains. In comparison, Hexie D-series trains operate at 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph) and take around 60–90 minutes. They make more intermediate stops and often use both Shanghai Hongqiao and Shanghai Station, with many services arriving at Changzhou (central). These trains typically offer Second and First Class, plus a trolley or café bar for refreshments. Conventional Z/T/K services on the classic line run at 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph) and can take 2–3 hours. They suit travelers seeking lower fares or late-night departures and serve city-center stations, though amenities and seat comfort are simpler than on the high-speed options.
