High-speed trains on the Shanghai to Taizhou route offer Second, First, and Business Class seating, with assigned seats, power outlets, and onboard restrooms. Services generally depart from Shanghai Hongqiao and arrive at Taizhou West (for the Hangzhou–Taizhou corridor) or Taizhou station (on the coastal line). The fastest option is the G-series Fuxing high-speed train (CR400/CRH380), capable of 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph) depending on the section. These trains typically run via the Shanghai–Hangzhou high-speed line and the newer link toward Taizhou, making limited stops such as Hangzhou East before reaching Taizhou West. Typical end-to-end times are about 2 hours 10 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes, prioritizing speed with fewer intermediate stops. An alternative is the D-series Hexie service (CRH), operating at up to 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph) on the coastal Ningbo–Taizhou corridor. These trains usually route via Hangzhou and Ningbo with additional stops (e.g., Ningbo, Sanmen County, Linhai), resulting in longer journeys of roughly 3 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours. Both service types provide reliable onboard amenities, while G-series trains offer the quickest schedule.
