The Beijing–Hangzhou high-speed train (京杭高速动车组列车) are high-speed train services between Beijing and Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province. The trains are operated by CR Beijing and CR Shanghai.

History[edit]

The high-speed train services between Beijing and Hangzhou was started on 1 July 2011, when the Beijing–Shanghai HSR was opened.[1] The trains were operated on Beijing–Shanghai HSR and Shanghai–Hangzhou HSR.

With the opening of Nanjing–Hangzhou HSR on 1 July 2013, some of the trains were diverted to Nanjing–Hangzhou HSR instead of Shanghai–Hangzhou HSR.

From 10 April 2018, the G19/20, G31/32 and G39/40 trains have been operating CR400AF and CR400BF trainsets. The operating speed was promoted to 350 kilometres per hour (220 mph) and the travelling time was eliminated to 4h 18m.[2]
