All high-speed trains on the Shanghai to Taihe route (most services call at Taihe East in Jiangxi) offer Second, First, and Business Class seating. The fastest option is the G-series Fuxing service (CR400AF/BF), running at up to 350 km/h (217 mph) and completing the journey in about 4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours, with limited stops through key hubs such as Hangzhou East, Shangrao, Nanchang West, and Ji’an West before Taihe East. In comparison, other G-series services, often operated by CRH380A/B trainsets or scheduled with more intermediate stops, run at around 300–310 km/h (186–193 mph) and take roughly 5 to 6 hours on the same corridor.
Both service types feature air-conditioned cars, power outlets, restrooms, and paid food service, with 2+3 seating in Second Class, 2+2 in First, and 1+2 lie‑flat Business Class on select trains. Travelers seeking the shortest travel time should choose through Fuxing services that stop at Taihe East, while those prioritizing additional station coverage or lower fares can opt for wider-stopping G trains; some timetables may involve a same-station transfer at Nanchang West.
