Shanghai to Chuzhou Train
On the Shanghai to Chuzhou route, China Railway operates two types of high-speed train. The fastest are G-category Fuxing services (typically CR400 or CRH380 sets), running up to 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph) between Shanghai Hongqiao and Nanjing South, then continuing on the Hefei–Nanjing high-speed line where the top speed is 250 km/h (155 mph). With few stops—often Suzhou and Nanjing South—the end-to-end journey typically takes about 1 h 25 m to 1 h 40 m. Most G-trains offer Second, First, and Business Class seating, power outlets, and trolley catering.
D-category intercity trains (commonly CRH2/CRH1) use the same corridor but are capped at 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph) and make more intermediate calls such as Kunshan, Wuxi, Zhenjiang, and Quanjiao. Travel time is usually around 1 h 50 m to 2 h 20 m. D-trains provide Second and First Class seating and similar onboard facilities, but fewer services include Business Class. For the shortest travel time, choose a G-service; for broader station coverage and lower fares, a D-service is a solid alternative.
