Shanghai to Huaibei Train
On the Shanghai to Huaibei route, travelers usually choose between a fast high‑speed segment plus a short onward leg to Huaibei, or a direct conventional train. There is no full end‑to‑end high‑speed service all the way to Huaibei, so the quickest trips involve 1 change.
The fastest option uses G‑class Fuxing trains (CR400 series) from Shanghai Hongqiao toward Bengbu South via Nanjing South, running at 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph). Some D‑class Hexie services (CRH) cover the same corridor at 250–300 km/h (155–186 mph). From Bengbu South (or Suzhou, Anhui), continue to Huaibei/Huaibei North on an intercity or regional leg that typically runs at 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph) where available, or 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph) on conventional tracks. Total journey time is usually about 3.5–4.5 hours including the change, with common stops such as Nanjing South, Chuzhou, and Bengbu South on the high‑speed section. Seating on the G/D trains includes Second, First, and Business Class with power outlets.
Direct conventional Z/T/K trains from Shanghai (Shanghai or Shanghai South) to Huaibei run at 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph) and take roughly 6.5–9 hours, depending on intermediate stops.
