All high-speed trains on the Shanghai to Ningbo route offer reserved seating in Second Class and First Class, with many G-series services also providing Business Class. The fastest option is the G-series high-speed train (typically CR400 Fuxing or CRH380), operating at up to 300 km/h (186 mph). End-to-end travel usually takes about 1 hour 55 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes, with limited stops—often calling at major stations such as Hangzhou East and sometimes Shaoxing North. D-series EMU trains run the same corridor at 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph) and take roughly 2 hours 20 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes, as they make more intermediate stops, commonly including Shaoxing North, Shangyu North, and Yuyao North. Conventional K/T services also connect Shanghai and Ningbo via the legacy line at up to 160 km/h (99 mph), with journey times around 3.5–4.5 hours. Most high-speed departures use Shanghai Hongqiao and arrive at Ningbo Station. Onboard facilities on G and D trains include power outlets, clean restrooms, and trolley service; Business Class on select G trains features wider, near lie-flat seating. For the quickest ride choose the G-series, while D-series trains provide broader regional access and more stop options.
