High-speed trains on the Shanghai to Tongling route offer Second Class and First Class seating, with Business Class available on select G-series runs. Seats are reserved, air‑conditioned, and come with power outlets and ample luggage space. The quickest option is typically a G-series high-speed train. These services run at up to 300 km/h (186 mph) on the Shanghai–Nanjing high-speed corridor and then continue at up to 250 km/h (155 mph) on the Nanjing–Anqing intercity line via major stops such as Nanjing South and Wuhu before reaching Tongling. End-to-end travel time is usually around 3 to 3.5 hours, depending on the number of intermediate calls. D-series high-speed trains also cover this route at up to 250 km/h (155 mph) throughout and generally take about 3.5 to 4 hours, as they make more stops. Rolling stock on these services includes Fuxing sets (CR400) and Hexie EMUs (CRH2/CRH380). Conventional Z/T/K services on the legacy line operate at about 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph) and can take roughly 5.5 to 7.5 hours. They offer hard/soft seat and sleeper options at lower fares, but with fewer departures and longer journey times compared with the high-speed trains.
