High-speed G-series trains on the Shanghai to Jinan route offer Second Class, First Class, and Business Class seating, with wide reclining seats, power outlets, and a quiet ride. Services typically depart from Shanghai Hongqiao and arrive at Jinan West. The fastest option is the Fuxing G-series (CR400), operating on the Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway at up to 350 km/h (217 mph). These limited-stop trains cover the journey in about 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes, usually calling at major hubs such as Nanjing South, Xuzhou East, and sometimes Qufu East or Tai’an before reaching Jinan West. Other G-series services, often making additional stops along the same corridor, run at 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph) and take roughly 3 hours 40 minutes to about 4 hours. A slower alternative is selected D-series or conventional services on the classic line, which run at up to 250 km/h (155 mph) on faster sections and can take 6–8 hours. All high-speed services provide clean restrooms and trolley or dining-car service, while Business Class offers lie-flat seats and extra privacy for a more premium trip.
