Hanoi to Nam Dinh Map

The 87 km route heads south from Hanoi Railway Station along the metre-gauge North-South railway. It passes through the southern Hanoi suburbs and Phu Ly before reaching Nam Dinh. The landscape changes from dense urban buildings to rice fields, irrigation channels and settlements of the Red River Delta. Intermediate calls vary by SE service; this is conventional railway, not a high-speed line.

Rail links Hanoi and Nam Dinh's urban stations without an airport transfer, with several departures through the day. Road services typically take around two hours, but Hanoi terminal access and traffic can add time; the bus figures below are indicative. There is no scheduled direct passenger flight between these cities, so zero flight values mean not applicable. Rail generally has a lower per-passenger environmental impact than private car travel, although these trains are diesel-hauled.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
