High-speed services on the Shanghai to Enshi corridor mix Fuxing G-class and Hexie D-class trains, with reserved Second and First Class seats and, on some G services, Business Class. Note that the route is only partially high-speed: the stretch west of Yichang toward Enshi runs on the mountainous Yiwan Railway. Fastest option: ride a Fuxing G train from Shanghai Hongqiao to Wuhan (via Nanjing South and Hefei South) at up to 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph), then connect to a D-class EMU on the Hankou–Yichang passenger line at up to 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph). The final Yichang East to Enshi leg runs on conventional track with typical speeds of 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph). With well-timed connections, end-to-end rail time is usually about 8 to 9.5 hours on the same day. G/D trains provide power outlets, trolley service, and reserved seating; Business/First seats are wider with more legroom. Alternative: direct classic services (Z/T/K series) run from Shanghai to Enshi without transfers, using 25T/25K rolling stock at up to 120–140 km/h (75–87 mph). These overnight trains typically take around 17–20 hours and offer Hard/Soft Seat and Hard/Soft Sleeper plus a dining car, suitable for travelers prioritizing a single through train over maximum speed.
