STARTING tomorrow, Shenzhen Railway Station in Luohu District will be operating 10 high-speed trains between Shenzhen and Shanwei, Meizhou and the Chao-shan region.

The new train services are due to the recent opening of the Guangzhou-Shanwei High-Speed Railway on Sept. 26, allowing the station to connect with the Hangzhou-Shenzhen railway network through the Ganzhou-Shenzhen and Guangzhou-Shanwei High-Speed railways.

The new services will benefit travelers in Luohu and Hong Kong coming in via Luohu Checkpoint, as they will now have access to high-speed trains that can take them to Shanwei, Chao-shan and Meizhou.

As part of the new schedule, both Shenzhen Railway Station and Guangzhou East Railway Station will operate 12 direct intercity trains daily  to cater to travelers’ demands, especially those crossing the border via Luohu Checkpoint. The trains will depart from the stations at 7 a.m, 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 6 p.m. and 9 p.m, with the shortest travel time between the two stations cut to 63 minutes.

Travel time between Shenzhen and southwestern cities such as Guiyang, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Kunming will also be reduced. Renovation projects have improved the operation speed of the 857-km Guiyang-Guangzhou High-Speed Railway from 250 kilometers per hour to 300 kilometers per hour.

As a result, the travel time between Guiyang and Guangzhou will be reduced by 31 minutes to 3 hours and 39 minutes. Additionally, the travel time from Guangzhou to Chengdu will be less than 7 hours, and the travel time from Guangzhou to Chongqing will be approximately 5 hours and 40 minutes.

As part of the new schedule, Shenzhen North Railway Station will operate 10 trains between Shenzhen and Chengdu, Chongqing, Guiyang, and Kunming.

Under the new schedule, Shenzhen North Railway Station will operate a total of 689 trains, including 477 that depart from or terminate at the station.

Luohu Station will operate 192 trains, which include 46 high-speed trains and 146 intercity trains. Futian Station will operate 109 trains, including 62 running between the station and Hong Kong West Kowloon Station.
