Write: Nora [2011-05-20]
THE railway, with a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour, will start operation from July 1, connecting the city to Nanjing in 73 minutes.
The tickets start to be saled on Jun. 25. Standard tickets for the highly anticipated Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed rail line have been priced at 146 yuan, almost a 50 percent rise compared with current bullet trains for the same trip.
The high-speed train, with the leading letter "G", will operate from Hongqiao Transport Hub and Shanghai Railway Station with more than 200 train services each day, almost one train every five minutes.
