On the Shanghai to Wuxuebei route, high-speed services are the primary choice, with most trains departing from Shanghai Hongqiao and arriving at Wuxuebei (Hubei) on the Hefei–Wuhan High-Speed Railway. Seating typically includes Second Class, First Class, and on many services Business Class, with power outlets and a trolley service for snacks. The fastest option is the G-series Fuxing service (CR400/CRH380 sets), operating at 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph) depending on the segment. These trains run via Shanghai Hongqiao – Nanjing South – Hefei South before continuing to Wuxuebei, with limited intermediate stops. Typical journey times fall around 3 hours 20 minutes to 3 hours 50 minutes, making this the quickest through service on the corridor. In comparison, D-series Hexie services run the same corridor at 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph) and usually call at more regional stations. As a result, D-train schedules are longer, generally around 4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours 30 minutes. Both train types offer reserved seating and air-conditioned coaches; G-series trains provide the highest top speeds and the fewest stops, while D-series trains trade speed for broader station coverage along the Shanghai–Nanjing–Hefei–Wuxuebei route.
