High-speed G-series trains (Fuxing/Hexie) run from Shanghai Hongqiao to Xinyang East with Second, First, and Business Class seating. These services use a mix of high-speed corridors: up to 300–350 km/h (186–217 mph) on the Shanghai–Nanjing–Beijing–Shanghai HSR sections, around 250 km/h (155 mph) on the Hefei–Wuhan passenger-dedicated line, and up to 300 km/h (186 mph) on the Beijing–Guangzhou HSR between Wuhan and Xinyang East. With limited stops—typically Nanjing South, Hefei South, Wuhan, and Xinyang East—end-to-end timings are about 5 to 6 hours. Onboard you’ll find reserved seating, power outlets, and modern interiors; Business Class provides a 1–2–1 layout. By comparison, D-series EMUs on the same corridor operate at 200–250 km/h (124–155 mph), add more intermediate stops, and usually take around 6.5 to 7.5 hours. Conventional overnight services (Z/T/K) on the legacy Beijing–Kowloon rail line connect Shanghai with Xinyang (main station, not Xinyang East) at 120–160 km/h (75–99 mph), typically 9 to 12 hours, offering Hard/Soft Seat and Hard/Soft Sleeper options. Choose G-series for the quickest timing and Xinyang East access, D-series for broader station coverage at a lower top speed, or conventional trains for overnight travel to Xinyang city station.
